Airbus successfully launched the Sentinel-2C satellite for the EU Copernicus Earth monitoring program, enhancing global monitoring capabilities. The satellite will replace Sentinel-2A, collecting essential data for various applications like agriculture and disaster monitoring. Sentinel-2C will provide optical images and continue observing Earth’s land surfaces, water bodies, and coastal areas. It will join a constellation of satellites orbiting the Earth every five days, aiding in environmental observations and humanitarian missions. The launch marked the final Vega rocket operation before transitioning to the new Vega C version.
