The Sentinel (satellite)

The Sentinel satellites are a series of Earth observation spacecraft operated by the European Space Agency, part of the Copernicus program. They continuously monitor the planet’s land, oceans, and atmosphere to provide valuable data on environmental changes, climate, and natural disasters. Equipped with advanced sensors, they capture high-resolution images and other measurements, helping scientists, governments, and organizations make informed decisions about resource management, disaster response, and environmental protection. These satellites work together as a coordinated system, offering regular, reliable, and comprehensive data to support sustainable development and climate monitoring globally.
