Our contribution to the Copernicus Earth observation program

Copernicus is the central Earth observation program of the European Commission and ESA. It provides information gathered in different initiatives, projects and operational measurement programs about our environment, its changes and security aspects of our society. The operational Earth observation based on satellites is an essential part of this Earth observation program, which is made possible by a cooperation of different suppliers from industry – among them Werum – with the responsible authorities.

• Satellite mission Sentinel-1: components of the Payload Data Ground Segment (PDGS) to manage the SAR processing workflows, including their migration to a cloud-native software solution
• Ground segment of the Sentinel-3 mission: processing management for land and sea surface data
• Copernicus Space Component (CSC) Adapter System: various backend functions of the CSC Adapter System to access data (PRISM): acceptance of data products, archiving and provision
• CSC Reference System (reference and test environment for the Sentinels data processing chains in a scalable cloud environment): development of the core services, the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-3 production chains as well as the browser interface for users
• Copernicus Long-Term Archive (LTA): operation of one out of four Copernicus long-term archives by way of a service in a public cloud environment based on our flexible, proprietary orchestration framework
