We are communicating recent developments regarding the Surface motioN mAPPING (SNAPPING) service for the Sentinel-1 mission on the Geohazards Exploitation Platform (GEP) platform in support of the scientific community as well as of EO practitioners. We present the processing scheme adopted for the service and the designed implementation on the GEP, and we discuss in detail the user-defined processing parameters and service outputs. SNAPPING is offered through three independent services, namely the SNAPPING IFG for the generation of interferometric stacks, utilized consequently as input for the SNAPPING PSI Med and SNAPPING PSI Full services, which execute Persistent Scatterers Interferometry (PSI) analyses at medium and full resolutions, respectively. The inter-verification of the SNAPPING results was performed to underline the robustness of the provided measurements, and several showcases from diverse environments are demonstrated. The service aims to pave the way towards the improved acceptance of EO-hosted processing services and deeper community engagement, anticipating operational exploitation in response to geohazards.
