Most EO data is available in <a href="https://towardsdatascience.com/the-ultimate-beginners-guide-to-geospatial-raster-data-feb7673f6db0" aria-label="Towards data science guide to raster data">raster format</a>.

SciHub will continue its full operations until the end of June 2023.

[**Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem**](https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/) provides access to all Sentinel data with new features for visualisation and data processing. Please stay tuned to the news for latest information on the services available and the [Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem roadmap](https://documentation.dataspace.copernicus.eu/#/Roadmap) for the full release of all functionalities.

[**FinHub**](https://finhub.nsdc.fmi.fi/#/home) is the Finnish national mirror of SciHub; other national mirrors also exist. It covers Finland and the Baltics and offers Sentinel-2 L1C (but not L2A) and Sentinel 1 SLC, GRD and OCN products and requires own registration. Finhub does not have concurrent download limitations nor a "Long term archive".
