DESCRIPTION:The Sentinel programme changed what many of us expect from sate
 llite data: open access\, regular coverage\, and observations we can actua
 lly build services around. The next Copernicus Expansion missions take tha
 t idea further\, adding measurements we do not currently get from the core
  Sentinel fleet: hyperspectral land imaging from CHIME\, L-band radar from
  ROSE-L\, anthropogenic greenhouse-gas monitoring from CO2M\, high-resolut
 ion land surface temperature from LSTM\, microwave radiometry for ocean an
 d polar monitoring from CIMR\, and polar ice and snow altimetry from CRIST
 AL.\nExpansion missions fill important gaps: richer spectral information f
 or soils\, crops\, minerals and habitats\; longer-wavelength radar for veg
 etation structure\, soil moisture and ground motion beneath forest cover\;
  field-scale thermal data for water stress and evapotranspiration\; direct
  observations of CO₂ and methane plumes\; improved sea-ice\, ocean and s
 alinity products\; and continuity of polar ice thickness\, snow-depth and 
 sea-level evidence.\nFor the UK\, these missions could strengthen evidence
  for food security\, water management\, nature recovery\, flood and coasta
 l resilience\, net zero monitoring\, climate adaptation\, maritime safety 
 and Arctic policy. For the FOSS4G community\, the message is simple: a new
  wave of open Earth observation data is coming\, and it will be far richer
 \, more varied and more policy-relevant than anything available today. Be 
 ready. These missions are a huge opportunity to turn open satellite data i
 nto better services\, better decisions and wider public value.
