S1 scene geographically misplaced

Microwave Toolbox

Dear Forum,

I have recently stumbled upon a geographically misplaced S1 scene. I am pretty sure that this is not a processing error in SNAP, but something further up the processing chain. Could you direct me to the proper address to report this bug?

The scene “S1D_IW_GRDH_1SDH_20260531T154517_20260531T154550_003030_005398_6A7C.SAFE.zip“ over Svalbard seems to be displaced by a kilometer or so from where it should be on the globe. This can be observed in the Copernicus dataspace when simply displaying the SAR image over Northern Svalbard for the 31.05.2026. See attached screenshot (own processing with SNAP13):

I think best would be to submit a request to CDSE: Submit a request – Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem | Help Center

Alternatively you can report it in the community forum: Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem | Community forum
