Today we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of Copernicus, the EU’s Earth Observation flagship programme. With an impressive fleet of seven satellites deployed in space, along with contributions from various missions, in situ sensors, and numerical models, Copernicus provides an extensive volume of free and open data and information services, catering to the needs of hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. Moreover, the programme has not only achieved significant scientific milestones but has also delivered substantial economic benefits, playing a pivotal role in supporting tens of thousands of jobs. To mark this occasion, we are placing the spotlight on inspiring success stories that exemplify the extraordinary achievements of Copernicus's diverse user community. From unprecedented breakthroughs in environmental monitoring to advancements in disaster management, Copernicus's impact is truly monumental.
