The mission

Sentinel-5 Precursor – also known as Sentinel-5P – is the first Copernicus mission dedicated to monitoring our atmosphere. The satellite carries the state-of-the-art Tropomi instrument to map a multitude of trace gases, which affect the air we breathe and therefore our health and our climate.

Date: 13 October 2017
Site: Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia
Launcher: Rockot

2600 km swath width
7 years mission life
824 km orbit altitude
