STAC Shared Resources

This is the home page for STAC Shared Resources

A STAC workshop was held on the 6th June with the objective to give an overview of the work that is being done in the ESA operations Ground Segment  to implement STAC within the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem and within the re-engineering of the new Sentinel data product formats.  But also to listen to the other actors that might be implementing STAC within the larger Copernicus context to see if there are some points of synergy that might be of advantage to improve interoperability.  The presentations from that workshop can be found here

A follow-on workshop is now planned in Q1/Q2 2025.  From an ESA perspective we would be pleased to present the progress on STAC for the Sentinels data, and the extended use of the STAC within the various elements of the Copernicus Ground Segment.  We would also take the opportunity to share a more in-depth look at the work being performed by ESA in preparation of a new common product format to be deployed across the Sentinels, and Copernicus Expansion missions in the future, using ZARR. As a very rough planning for this second workshop I would propose the morning dedicated more to STAC and the afternoon more on ZARR.  For ESA’s part we will send out an information package to allow you all to take a look at the work performed to date and bring any questions, suggestions or comments.  The information shared at the last workshop was very welcome, and perhaps this time there would be specific themes that the attendees would like to focus.
