Sentinel-1 Orbits in Amazon S3

Sentinel-1 orbit files are now available in Amazon S3 and the Registry of Open Data on AWS!

Sentinel-1 Precise Orbit Determination (POD) products contain auxiliary data on satellite position and velocity for the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-1 mission. POD products are a necessary auxiliary input for nearly all Sentinel-1 data processing workflows.

Supplementing ASF’s existing archive at https://s1qc.asf.alaska.edu, advantages of the new S3 archive include:

Open access: Publicly available without the need for an Earthdata Login account
Less downtime: Backed by the performance and reliability of Amazon S3
More options: Accessible via the s1_orbits Python library and standard S3 tools
