| Name: | SENTINEL-2A |
| ICES Code: | |
| Callsign: | |
| Countries: | European Union |
| Comments: | Alternate Label: Copernicus: Sentinel-2A The Sentinel-2 mission is a land monitoring constellation of two satellites that provide high resolution optical imagery and provide continuity for the current SPOT and Landsat missions. The orbit is an average height of 785 km and the presence of two satellites in the mission allow repeated surveys every 5 days at the equator and every 2-3 days at middle latitudes. The satellites are equipped with the state-of-the-art MSI (Multispectral Imager) instrument for surveying with a resolution of 10 to 60 m in the visible, near infrared (VNIR), and short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectral zones, including 13 spectral channels, which ensures the capture of differences in vegetation state, including temporal changes, and also minimizes impact on the quality of atmospheric photography. Sentinel-2A was launched June 23, 2015. Reference: https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/missions/esa-operational-eo-missions/sentinel-2 |
