11 -The European **Copernicus programme** is operating and expanding an extensive constellation consisting of various EO satellites carrying a range of different sensors, such as **Sentinel-1** fitted with an all-weather, day-and-night radar system and **Sentinel-2** equipped with a multispectral high-resolution sensor. In total six different Sentinels are planned with each having multiple satellites. Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 have a revisit time of three and respectively five days, in effect provide a **global coverage every three and five days**. These are long-term operated and will be collecting data for the upcoming decades. The current seven operation Sentinels collect daily 15TB of raw data, thus an extensive archive of EO data needs to be maintained.

13 13  The **massive volumes of data** provided by the Copernicus programme need to be processed to higher-level products to unlock their full potential. For instance, Sentinel-1s’ raw radar data can be transformed to level-1 products (single look complex and ground range detection) or level-2 ocean products, while the data provided by Sentinel-2 needs to be athmospherically corrected to level-2A. **These transformations require**: a) know-how on where to retrieve the data, b) programming experience to implement the algorithms, c) large amounts of disk space, and d) ample processing power. All these factors are limiting the uptake of satellite data and result in a high entry level, requiring specific technical skills, software and hardware.
