Satellite details

Acronym	LSTM-B
Full name	Land Surface Temperature Monitoring-B
WIGOS Station Identifier	---
Satellite Description	Second of the high-priority Copernicus Sentinel Expansion Missions on land surface temperature. Main mission: to monitor evapotranspiration rate at European field scale by capturing the variability of Land Surface Temperature. Complementary mission: to map soil composition, urban heat islands, coastal zone management and High-Temperature Events. To operate in a constellation of (initially two) identical satellites, covering a period > 7 years. For more details, see https://tinyurl.com/vdse4ddj and https://tinyurl.com/y39y7bym
