Sentinel 2 mission establishes a new generation of ESA multispectral remote sensing. The Sentinel 2 mission will generate multispectral imagery of higher spatial, temporal and spectral resolution than other similar satellites (Landsat 8 or ASTER). The data are freely available via internet data hubs. Since June 2015, the Sentinel 2A satellite is on orbit and his companion, Sentinel 2B, will be launched in 2017. Both Sentinels operate Multispectral Instrument (MSI) recording the electromagnetic energy in 13 spectral bands in visible, near-infrared and mid-infrared spectrum. Such a setting is well suited for monitoring vegetation and land cover every 5 days for the same area. | |
