LuxCarta uses imagery provided by the European Space Agency (ESA) to deliver its BrightEarth product line. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission uses a constellation of two polar-orbiting satellites placed in the same sun-synchronous orbit, phased at 180° to each other. Its 290 km swath widthand high revisit rate makes it an ideal source for LuxCarta’s dynamic BrightEarth products and monitoring changes on the Earth’s surface.
