Satellite Engineering students from EETAC featured in a Sentinel-2C satellite capture

During the activity, the students placed several plastic tarps and measured their corners using GNSS equipment, as part of the CDIO-1 course, while awaiting the Sentinel-2C image capture, which took place at 11:42 a.m.

The Sentinel satellites are a new fleet specifically designed to provide large amounts of data and imagery for the European Commission’s Copernicus programme. Sentinel-2 satellites carry an innovative high-resolution multispectral camera with 13 spectral bands that offer a new perspective on the Earth’s surface and vegetation. The combination of high resolution, new spectral capabilities, a 290-km-wide field of view, and frequent revisits will provide unprecedented views of our planet.

EETAC is a pioneer in implementing innovative teaching methodologies and plans to apply the CDIO methodology (Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate) in the Bachelor’s Degree in Satellite Engineering. CDIO provides a practical, hands-on approach based on realistic projects that simulate the full engineering process, from the initial idea to its operation.
