Copernicus

KEPLER will help inform development of Copernicus 2.0

Our motivation is to put the public and stakeholders at the centre of Copernicus

A key aim of KEPLER is to ensure that there is a clear, concise and achievable road map for the Copernicus programme to develop industry and societal-driven value-added technologies, products, and other services. The first Sentinel satellites are in orbit, or due to be launched. It is important that the next phase- Copernicus 2.0 (starting in 2021) is developed further to meet the requirements of the Polar Regions.
