    # returns product stop time
    print s2_product.product_stop_time
    # returns product generation time
    print s2_product.generation_time
    # returns product footprint
    print s2_product.footprint
    # iterates through product granules
    for granule in s2_product.granules:
        # returns granule path
        print granule.granule_path
        # returns granule footprint
        print granule.footprint

    # returns list of image paths of a specific band (e.g. all .jp2 files for
    # band 1)
    print s2_product.granule_paths(1)
