The Sentinels, a new fleet of ESA satellites, are poised to deliver the wealth of data and imagery that are central to the EU's Copernicus programme.
By offering a set of key information services for a broad range of applications, this global monitoring programme is a step change in the way we manage our environment, understand and tackle the effects of climate change, and safeguard everyday lives.
