Entry: Sentinel-5P
URI: https://terra-vocabulary.org/ncl/FAIR-Incubator/earthscienceplatforms/c_f32497cd
A precursor satellite mission, Sentinel-5P aims to fill in the data gap and provide data continuity between the retirement of the Envisat satellite and NASA's Aura mission and the launch of Sentinel-5. The mission will perform atmospheric monitoring and was launched in October 2017. Launch Date: 13 October 2017 Operational lifespan: 7 years Mission Objectives: The Sentinel-5 Precursor objectives are to provide operational space-borne observations in support to the operational monitoring of: Air Quality Ozone and Surface UV Climate It will provide measurements of: Ozone NO_2 SO_2 Formaldehyde Aerosol Carbonmonoxide Methane Clouds Mission Orbit: Orbit Type: Sun-synchronous, polar Orbit Height: 824 km Inclination: 98.74° Repeat Cycle: 16 days Mean LST: 13:30 at Ascending Node Sentinel-5 Precursor is foreseen to operate in loose formation with Suomi-NPP Payload: The TROPOMI instrument is a UV-VIS-NIR-SWIR push-broom grating spectrometer. Spectral range: 270-495 nm, 710-775 nm, 2305-2385 nm Spectral resolution: 0.25-0.55 nm Observation mode: nadir pointing, global daily coverage, 7x7 km^2 ground Payload Mass: 200kg Configuration: The spacecraft launch mass is ~900 kg Launch vehicle: ROCKOT Contractors: Prime Contractor: Airbus Defence & Space TROPOMI contract: Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs
