Quick answer — what Sentinel-2 is

Sentinel-2 is an ESA optical satellite with 13 spectral bands at up to 10m resolution. 5-day revisit, 290km swath. Off-Nadir Delta shows it in true color, false color, and spectral indices such as NDVI. Free to view in Off-Nadir Delta via AWS Earth Search.

10m Resolution

High-resolution imagery allows you to see individual fields, buildings, and landscape features.

13 Spectral Bands

Beyond visible light: near-infrared, red edge, and SWIR bands for advanced analysis.

Vegetation Analysis

Calculate NDVI and other vegetation indices to assess plant health and biomass.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sentinel-2?▼
Sentinel-2 is an optical satellite constellation from the European Space Agency (Copernicus program). The operational pair is Sentinel-2B (2017) and Sentinel-2C (launched September 2024, which took over Sentinel-2A’s slot in January 2025); Sentinel-2A (2015) continues on an extended campaign. Together they provide high-resolution multispectral imagery with 13 spectral bands from visible to shortwave infrared (443nm to 2190nm).
What resolution is available?▼
Sentinel-2 provides 10m resolution for RGB (B2, B3, B4) and NIR (B8) bands, 20m for red edge (B5, B6, B7), narrow NIR (B8A), and SWIR (B11, B12) bands, and 60m for atmospheric correction bands (B1, B9, B10). The swath width is 290km.
How often is new data available?▼
The two-satellite constellation provides a 5-day revisit time at the equator and 2-3 days at mid-latitudes due to swath overlap. Level-2A products (atmospherically corrected surface reflectance) are available globally.
What about cloud cover?▼
Each Sentinel-2 scene includes a cloud mask and scene-level cloud cover percentage. You can filter search results by cloud cover. Our interface shows cloud cover for each scene so you can select the clearest imagery for your analysis.
What band combinations are available?▼
True color (B4-B3-B2) and false color infrared (B8-B4-B3) composites, plus spectral indices computed from the bands: NDVI ((B8-B4)/(B8+B4)), EVI, SAVI, NDMI, NDWI, MNDWI, NDBI, NDSI and NBR. Arbitrary custom band combinations are not offered. The live map on this page is natural color only.
What is the difference between L1C and L2A?▼
Level-1C (L1C) provides top-of-atmosphere reflectance. Level-2A (L2A) provides bottom-of-atmosphere surface reflectance, atmospherically corrected using the Sen2Cor processor. We recommend L2A for most analysis as it removes atmospheric effects.
