GCMD New Keyword Request – Sentinal 2C

by aruntern » Mon Aug 11, 2025 11:05 pm America/New_York

Hello GCMD forum,
I am writing to request an update on the GCMD keywords, to incorporate the 'Sentinal-2C', platform in your Keywords directory.
The heirarchy would be:

Platforms
->Space-based Platforms
->Earth Observation Satellites
->Sentinal-2
-Sentinal-2A
-Sentinal-2B
-Sentinal-2C

The description should be :
"The Sentinel-2C is the third satellite in the Sentinel-2 series of Earth-observing spacecraft, which are part of Europe’s Copernicus programme, managed by the European Space Agency (ESA) in collaboration with the European Commission. It is the third flight unit of the Sentinel-2 mission, joining its predecessors Sentinel-2A (2015) and Sentinel-2B (2017). Like its siblings, Sentinel-2C carries a multispectral imager that captures high-resolution optical imagery—spanning land, coastal waters, and inland areas—across 13 spectral bands, with resolutions of 10 m, 20 m, and 60 m and a swath width of around 290 km."

Please let me know if there is anything you'd like from me regarding this request.

Hi team,

Great!
Thanks for the update.The keyword looks good.
Also, thanks for fixing the typo 'Sentinel' (and NOT Sentinal).

Regards,
Arun
