What is SENTINEL-2 imagery?
Sentinel-2 is an Earth observation mission from the Copernicus Programme that systematically acquires optical imagery at high spatial resolution (10 m to 60 m) over land and coastal waters.
Where can I download SENTINEL-2 data?
Currently ESA distributes Sentinel 2 data in entire swaths. These files are very large, sometimes 7+ GB when compressed. You can access these data directly from the ESA Copernicus Open Access hub at: https://scihub.copernicus.eu/ Users should read the online User Guide prior to searching for data.
How can I download SENTINEL-2 data for free?
Follow these steps to download free Sentinel satellite data:
- Create a User Account. Go to Sentinels Scientific Data Hub.
- Select Your Area of Interest. Where is your study area?
- Download Sentinel Data.
Is SENTINEL-2 imagery free?
All Sentinel-2 data products are provided free of charge to all data users, including the general public, and scientific and commercial users under the terms and conditions prescribed by the European Commission’s Copernicus Programme.
What kind of satellite is the Sentinel 2?
About Sentinel-2. SENTINEL-2, launched as part of the European Commission’s Copernicus program on June 23, 2015, was designed specifically to deliver a wealth of data and imagery. The satellite is equipped with an opto-electronic multispectral sensor for surveying with a sentinel-2 resolution of 10 to 60 m in the visible, near infrared (VNIR),
What are the main features of Sentinel Hub?
Take a look at our Sentinel Hub brochure for more information. Service-oriented satellite imagery infrastructure takes care of all the complexity of handling satellite imagery archive and makes it available for end-users via easy-to-integrate web services. The main features of the system are:
Which is the safe format for Sentinel 2?
SENTINEL-2 products will be made available to users in SENTINEL-SAFE format, including image data in JPEG2000 format, quality indicators (e.g. defective pixels mask), auxiliary data and metadata. The SAFE format has been designed to act as a common format for archiving and conveying data within ESA Earth Observation archiving facilities.
Where can I find the USGS Sentinel 2 collection?
EarthExplorer , USGS Global Visualization Viewer (GloVis), or the Sentinel2Look Viewer can be used to search, preview, and download Sentinel-2 data. The collection is located under the Sentinel category in EarthExplorer. The current USGS Sentinel-2 archive is only a partial representation of all available acquisitions from ESA.
