The good thing is that, Sentinel is just a central coordinator and scheduler. The server can be down for a while, especially in the winter, and not have any adverse effects. The satellites out in the field do all of the heavy lifting. If the server is down, the satellites just keep doing whatever they were last told to do. They can keep about 30-45 days’ worth of reporting data (success/failure, weather at that time, etc.) before they would start overwriting it.
