NOVELTIS is involved, alongside ESA and Airbus Defence and Space, in the preparation of the future Sentinel Next Generation missions, which aim to replace the current Sentinel satellites by 2028-2032.

To date, our work has focused on the study of new concepts of optical satellites for the observation of oceans and continental waters; starting from the analysis and modelling of user needs and ending with the elaboration of new instrument specifications that ensure both the continuity of observations as well as the improvement of their accuracy and quality.

The new instrumental specifications drawn up by NOVELTIS were then used to elaborate innovative satellite architecture: definition of new sensor technologies, pre-dimensioning of future platforms, etc.
