Sentinel-2B in the cleanroom at ESTEC in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. The Sentinels are a fleet of satellites designed specifically to deliver data and imagery that are central to the European Commission’s Copernicus programme. Sentinel-2A and 2B carry innovative wide-swath high-resolution multispectral imagers with 13 spectral bands for a new perspective of our land and vegetation. The two identical satellites fly in the same orbit, 180° apart for optimal coverage and data delivery, covering all Earth’s land surfaces, large islands, inland and coastal waters, every five days.
