I have a question about sensing data time zone from https://scihub.copernicus.eu/dhus/#/home.
In which time zone copernicus provide for us data ?
For example on image we can see Sensing Date
Is it CET time zone or what ? Could anyone help me with this question ?

@JeffreyEvans So, as I understand, they provide data in GMT time zone, aren't they ?– kGummyBearCommented Nov 9, 2020 at 15:40

As @JeffreyEvans said it's in GMT (or UTC to be more precise). This can be confirmed by checking out the time format seen in the manifest xml file, as well as the filename of the product.
This is the so-called Zulu time (i.e. UTC)
