New Launch Date Set For Sentinel-2A

Liftoff Now Planned For June 23 From French Guiana

The second satellite in Europe’s Copernicus program is set for launch from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on June 23 at 01:52 GMT.

Fuelling of the satellite was completed Wednesday at the launch site.

An ESA and industry advisory board meeting over the past few days signed off on an investigation into Vega’s fairing separation and the replacement of a gas pressure sensor on the vehicle, allowing the new launch date to be confirmed.

Sentinel-2 carries an innovative wide-swath, high-resolution multispectral imager with 13 spectral bands for a new perspective of our land and vegetation. The second in the two-satellite mission – Sentinel-2B – is being prepared for launch in 2016.
