Airbus has announced that, after being transported from its Friedrichshafen site to Bremen on July 2, Sentinel-2C, the third of the Copernicus program's Sentinel-2 satellites, is about to be shipped to the European space center in French Guiana.

The container has been loaded onto Canopée, the first sailing cargo ship specially designed to transport Ariane 6 rocket components from European ports to the Guiana Space Center, where it will arrive in around two weeks' time.

Activities will be carried out in Kourou to prepare Sentinel-2C for launch on the latest Vega rocket operated by Arianespace in September. The Sentinel-2 mission helps to manage food security by providing information to the agricultural sector.
