Lurker Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Miguel Bello Mora, chief executive of Madrid-based Deimos Space, said the company’s current satellite, Deimos-1, will lose much of its market when Europe’s Sentinel-2 satellite is launched in the coming year. Sentinel-2 is part of the European Commission’s Copernicus program, which includes multiple satellites with different sensors to be deployed in the coming two years. Copernicus managers have promised that the satellite data will be available on a free and open basis. happy news for users but sad news for some remote sensing data company seems some European based remote sensing data company see this as a threat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
