【 摘 要 】

With large volumes of data acquired every month, the Copernicus satellites provide essential information for analysing and monitoring our environment. However, technical and knowledge barriers may affect user’s uptake of such a wealth of information. The RUS (Research and User Support for Sentinel Core Products) Service (funded by the EC and managed by ESA) began operations in October 2017 and aims to support overcoming such issues. A scalable cloud environment offers the possibility to remotely store and process data by bringing data and associated processing closer to the user. An integral part of the solution is the exploitation and adaptation of the platform, Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS). In addition, technical and scientific support (including training sessions) are provided to simplify exploitation of Copernicus data. The RUS Service is specially addressed to users from Copernicus countries who are willing to discover and use Copernicus core products and datasets. Other users willing to access the Service should first liaise with RUS to check their eligibility. The service is free. Commercial and operational activities cannot be carried out through the RUS Service.
