Next webinar in September and SNAP update for S1 pre-processing issues in Sen4CAP v2.0

Dear colleagues and Sen4CAP users,

We would like to inform you that our next webinar, initially planned for July, will be postponed to 14 September. Please, save the date in your calendar! The access link for this 8th webinar will be communicated later in September and also published on our website.

We take the opportunity of this email to inform you of a possible issue with Sentinel-1 pre-processing using the Sen4CAP v2.0.
The Sen4CAP v2.0 is provided with SNAP 7.0 (and the possibility to use a SNAP 8.0 docker image). Unfortunately, these versions are not able to update some modules in SNAP and for both versions, you might encounter problems with the S1 pre-processing, which does not start.
Meanwhile, a new SNAP minor version (8.0.3) has been released that corrects some issues or updates some locations for orbit files. These corrections are not in the official Sen4CAP 2.0 version but they can be provided for the users encountering issues with S1 pre-processing. Please, contact us on the forum and we will distribute them.
Note that it does not solve everything – for unknown reasons (so far), there could still be some issues of availability of the orbit files for some regions or periods.

I wish you a very nice summer and I look forward to meeting you again in a few weeks.

Kind regards,
Sophie
Project coordinator
