In 2015, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched its own high resolution earth observation satellite system from the Sentinel program, Sentinel-2. Since then, it has provided us with enormous amounts of fantastic data, all for free, accessible to everybody. For us here at EOMAP, this started a new era, giving us access to the best combination of spatial and temporal resolution that we ever had. Consequently, Sentinel-2 is specifically precious to us and we want to celebrate its half-decade birthday with some of our favorite images from all around the globe. See for yourself!
Fugro and EOMAP staff are assembling the drone.
Fugro's drone is ready to take off.
It was a challenge for the team to fly the drone on the construction site with the 50-m-crane nearby.
This drone image by Fugro shows an aerial view on the construction site. It will serve as a basis for a high-resolution bathymetry map.
Drone-derived bathymetry will be used for documentation of underwater and surface distribution of rock placement / berm.
Selective depth reading for calibrating drone-derived bathymetry (within and outside harbor and rock dump).
