Hi, the precise orbit files for Sentinel-1 appear with a time lag of around 3 weeks! Today (10th. July) the precise orbit files for the 21st of June is available.
For a near realtime processing of S1 data, this time lag is too long. Is there a way to improve the availability of the precise orbit files? Without them the geometric accuracy of the data is not acceptable.

We are aware of the fact that we have time lag for PORB and we are working on the solution to fix it.
The precise orbits are available 20 days after the acquisition. Use restituted orbits for near realtime processing, their quality is already very good. There have been some issues with our orbits server but the 20-day lag is still there in the best of cases.
