Paris–\u00a0Media representatives are invited to a presentation of potential applications using the early images from the second satellite in orbit for the EU’s Copernicus Earth observation programme.<\/span>

The event, jointly organised by ESA and the European Commission, will be held on\u00a027 July<\/span>\u00a0at the Milano Congressi convention centre, located at Piazzale Carlo Magno in Milan, Italy.<\/span>

At the event, experts will demonstrate how the Sentinel-2 ‘colour vision’ mission’s critical observations can be used to monitor our changing lands, wetlands,<\/span> and coastal waters.

Key European users will also present their plans for using Sentinel-2 data in the various fields of applications, including agriculture, forestry, wetlands, glaciers, and coastal waters.

Sentinel-2A was launched from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana on 23 June.

Developed by ESA, the Sentinel satellites make up the core of Europe’s Copernicus environmental monitoring network. Copernicus will provide operational information on the world’s land surfaces, oceans, and atmosphere to support environmental and security policymaking and the needs of individual citizens and service providers.<\/span>

Sentinel-2 is designed as a two-satellite constellation – Sentinel-2A and -2B – and will provide imagery for the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service, among other services developed by the EU.<\/span>

The camera’s 13 spectral bands, from the visible and the near-infrared to the shortwave infrared at different spatial resolutions, take land monitoring to an unprecedented level.<\/span>

Sentinel-2 is the first optical Earth observation mission of its kind to include three bands in the ‘red edge’, which provide key information on the state of vegetation.<\/span>
