Each detection line in Lynred’s Sentinel-2 NG detector has a format of around 2,000 pixels at a 15-micron pitch, producing a detector of about 0.03 m long for each spectral line.
Lynred has previously developed and manufactured infrared detectors for the Sentinel-2 mission used on satellites Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B, which were launched in 2015 and 2017 respectively.
Lynred was selected through an open bidding process to develop an advanced multispectral infrared detector for the Sentinel-2 Next-Generation (NG) land monitoring satellite mission.
Lynred will design a complex high-resolution multispectral infrared detector to meet Sentinel-2 NG system-level performance requirements including shortening the ground sample distance and adding new spectral bands.
Sentinel-2C and Sentinel-2D satellites are expected to launch in the near future with infrared detectors developed by Lynred.
The first prototype of Lynred’s multispectral infrared detector for Sentinel-2 NG is due in 2026.

Lynred must address the industrial process to manufacture Sentinel-2 NG detectors in volume quantities to meet increased production requirements.
Lynred is the leading European manufacturer of infrared detectors deployed in space.
Lynred was selected in an open bidding process to develop an advanced multispectral infrared detector for the Sentinel-2 Next-Generation (NG) land monitoring satellite mission.
Each detection line in Lynred’s Sentinel-2 NG multispectral detector will have a format of around 2,000 pixels at a 15-micron pitch, corresponding to a detector length of about 0.03 m per spectral line.
Sentinel-2 NG will require delivery of more detector units within half the time compared with the previous Sentinel-2 mission, where Lynred delivered tens of flight models over several years.
