Launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) in November 2013, the three-satellite Swarm constellation continues to provide very high-quality measurements of the Earth's magnetic field and associated plasma environment. After around 10 years in space the Swarm mission has achieved remarkable scientific results, opening the door for many innovating applications largely beyond its original scope. With this paper, the authors would like to provide a broad overview of the Swarm mission status and Swarm instruments performance. Moreover, the many improvements obtained from the new Swarm data processing baseline together with other innovative Swarm-based data products and services will be presented.
