Summary

Description
English: This image of Malta, captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2B satellite is one of the first set of images delivered via Alphasat, which is in geostationary orbit 36 000 km above Earth. The image is a result of the two satellites using their optical communication instruments to transfer data via laser for fast delivery. This is essential for applications such as helping respond to disasters.
