Operating in a polar orbit, the new Copernicus Sentinel-5 mission introduces an advanced imaging spectrometer, that delivers daily global data on atmospheric gases and aerosols. Sentinel-5 observations include key air pollutants, essential climate variables, and stratospheric ozone that protects us from ultraviolet radiation.
The Sentinel-5 mission is hosted aboard three MetOp Second Generation A-type weather satellites, working in synergy with other onboard instruments.
