## (Update 2023-10-31) Changes to Sentinel-1 orbit files source

The [Copernicus Scihub client has discontinued service](https://scihub.copernicus.eu/) in favor of [the new Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem](https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/).
The [Copernicus Scihub client has discontinued service](https://scihub.copernicus.eu/) in favor of [the new Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem](https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/). The new service no longer allows anonymous public downloads (using the `gnssuser`), which means you must register for either a Dataspace account (to use the CDSE data) or a NASA Earthdata account (to use the orbits provided by ASF).

*Changes required by you to continue using this tool:*

Option 1: Register for CDSE

1. Register for an account with Copernicus Data Space account at https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/ (using the Loging button, which will have the option for a "Register" page)
2. After creating the username and confirming your email, store your username/password in a `~/.netrc` file with the hostname `dataspace.copernicus.eu`:

The backup option for downloading orbits is using the ASF mirror (which also requires a `.netrc` entry, but with `urs.earthdata.nasa.gov` as the hostname); however, the Copernicus Data Space is the preferred option.
Option 2: Register for NASA Earthdata

1. Register for an account with NASA Earthdata at https://urs.earthdata.nasa.gov/users/new
