SENTINEL-2 OPEN DATA

The colour vision of Copernicus

Part of the EU's Copernicus programme, ESA's Sentinel-2 mission is a cornerstone of our free imagery offering. A constellation of twin satellites (Sentinel-2A, 2B, and 2C) carries a multispectral imager with 13 spectral bands at up to 10m resolution, a wide 290km swath, and a 5-day global revisit — ideal for vegetation health, agriculture, land-cover classification, and disaster mapping.
