Terminology.3\.3\. Datasets.WebHome]] fitted with an all-weather, day-and-night radar system and [[**Sentinel-2**>>doc:2\. Terminology.3\.3\. Datasets.WebHome]] equipped with a multispectral high-resolution sensor. In total six different Sentinels are planned with each having multiple satellites. Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 have a revisit time of three and respectively five days, in effect provide a **global coverage every three and five days**. These are long-term operated and will be collecting data for the upcoming decades. The current seven operation Sentinels collect daily 15TB of raw data, thus an extensive archive of EO data needs to be maintained.
