This image may not be used to state or imply ESA endorsement of any company or product Sentinel-2 satellite in orbit, artwork. The Sentinel-2 mission is part of the Copernicus programme, formerly Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES). It consists of two identical satellites simultaneously orbiting the earth and providing continuous imagery of all Earth's land surfaces. Each satellite carries a single multi-spectral instrument (MSI) with 13 spectral channels in the visible/near infrared (VNIR) and short wave infrared spectral range (SWIR). Sentinel-2A was launched 23rd June 2015 and Sentinel-2B on 7 March 2017. They are used to image land cover for environmental and agriculture monitoring, glacier monitoring, and flood mapping and management.
