Since the launch of Sentinel 1 in April 2014, the European programme for Earth Observation Copernicus has become the most ambitious of its kind in history. The humongous amount of generated satellite data and its heterogeneity allows for multitemporal studies focused on a wide range of applications. However, it also poses a set of issues related mostly with the big data domain. With the aim of increasing the accessibility of imagery to the widest range of users, several initiatives have been developed both at the public and private spheres. Among these solutions we highlight the Open Data Cube (ODC) project, which has been implemented operationally in many countries and regions all over the world due to its open source nature. Most of the datacubes using ODC technology have been conceived for the monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals. In order to feed this type of infrastructure it is necessary to transform the raw satellite data into the so-called Analysis Ready Data (ARD) by systematically processing them. In this article, a review of the state-of-the-art implementations of ODC for the systematic collection, pre-processing and dissemination of Sentinel imagery is intended, as well as its application to the Iberian Peninsula. In addition, the initial results of the tasks performed will be presented: i) the development of a QGIS plugin allowing, among other uses, the acquisition of Sentinel 1 and 2 imagery in any place of the world and the generation of ARD for certain products, ii) the implementation of an ODC pilot in areas of interest in Spain, and iii) a thorough documentation of the geo-technological environment used, based on FOSS4G (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial).
