People have been curious about EnMAP images since its launch in April and are very keen to explore this new and rich data source. It is only a matter of time before the first applications and use cases start coming out, showcasing EnMAP’s value and great potential! We have already had a peek;

Although it is stated that “Archived data can be accessed immediately free of charge” it took about 30 hours for my order to move from ‘SUBMITTED’ → ‘IN PROCESSING’ → ‘PROCESSED’.
I guess a lot of people have been downloading EnMAP data these days!
Finally, once your order is processed, you will receive an email with the address of the FTP Delivery Server and the path to the data (e.g. ftps://xen0f0n-cat1distributor@download.dsda.dlr.de//dims_op_oc_oc-en_700329792_1.tar.gz)
Follow this guide for a list of FTP clients to download your order.
Alternatively, you can use wget to do the same from the command line.
