+#### product:acquisition_type
+
+The product acquisition type describes the purpose of the acquisition.
+It is similar to the `acquisitionType` field from the 
+[OGC® Earth Observation Metadata profile of Observations & Measurements , Table 5](https://docs.ogc.org/is/10-157r4/10-157r4.html#24):
+
+> Used to distinguish at a high level the appropriateness of the acquisition for "general" use,
+> whether the product is a nominal acquisition, special calibration product or other.
+
+Admitted values are:
+- `nominal`
+- `calibration`
+- `other`
+
+Sentinel-2 [Annex A (page 90)](https://sentinel.esa.int/documents/247904/2047089/Sentinel-2_Cal-Val_Phase-E2.) provides the calibration sites so some
+acquisitions over those areas will be acquired for calibration purposes.
+The `product:acquisition_type` field brings is the possibility to "flag" products as `nominal`, `calibration`
+or `other` (not `nominal`, not `calibration`).
+
+[Sentinel-1](https://sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel/-/copernicus-sentinel-1-calibration-campaign-on-going-in-europe) provides few acquisitions
+in given dates and orbits that were acquired in a different mode. Those products would have `calibration`.

 #### Timeliness
 
 Below you can find an example that shows how the timeliness fields could be used.
