SENTINEL-2 SATELLITE IMAGERY
Sentinel-2 is an optical imaging satellite which was launched on the 23rd June 2015 with the aim of obtaining imagery to help observe earth’s terrestrial changes. It has a multi-spectral scanner which allows information to be obtained in both visible and infrared wavelengths, allowing land and vegetation changes as well as climate change monitoring to be conducted globally, at a spatial resolution of 10m.
To download Sentinel-2 imagery from our portal, you will need to obtain a free user account from ESA’s Open Access Hub.
