This document describes the data flow configuration within the Copernicus Ground Segment, identifying the Sentinel products and auxiliary data files managed by each Ground Segment Service and indicating for each type of data managed by a given Service,
whether the Service acts as a Provider (P) or as a Consumer (C) of the data.

Possible changes in the operational data flow configuration will be reflected in future updates of this document.

The system budget scope is to provide an estimate of the expected operations load and the sizing of the general operations.
The budget provides an end-to-end global view on the operational data flows within the EOF Ground Segment for the period 2023 – Q1 2030.

These estimations are made on the basis of current operation volumes. The budget should support the sizing of the critical elements.

This document provides the definition of terms and acronyms commonly used as part of the European Space Agency Copernicus Space Component Ground Segment Operations.

It has been created in response to the need of harmonising the use of terms in the different projects and services.
