 |  Gearing up for third Sentinel-2 satellite
 10 August 2021
With the first Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite in orbit since 2015 and the second since
2017, engineers are busy preparing the mission’s follow-on pair to eventually pick up the
baton to supply images for a myriad of applications from food security to monitoring the
decline of Earth’s ice. Slated for launch at the beginning of 2024, Sentinel-2C has just
started a punishing five-month testing programme to ensure that it is fit for its life in
space.
