The video discusses a space telescope powered by a two-kilowatt solar array, equipped with a 24 million pixel, 50 cm telescope, and communication equipment including a high gain antenna. The Sentinel mission aims to discover Earth-crossing asteroids with diameters between 30 to 140 meters over a 5.5-year mission life. It will track 90% of asteroids larger than 100 meters. The launch is planned for 2017 or 2018 using a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
