| Popis: | As part of the European Copernicus programme, the Sentinel-1 mission, based on a constellation of two SAR satellites, ensures continuity for C-band SAR observations for Europe. Both satellites have been launched from Kourou on a Soyuz rocket, Sentinel-1A on 3rd April 2014, Sentinel-1B on 25 April 2016. Following the completion of the constellation operational qualification phase, the routine operations of the constellation are on-going and performed close to the full mission and system capacity. The mission is characterized by large-scale, frequent and repetitive observations, systematic production and a free and open data distribution policy. The paper provides high-level information on the ongoing mission operations. It describes at high level the system operations, incl. ground segment operational activities, as well as some user data access statistics. It presents few examples of mission results achieved since the operations of Sentinel-1A, in some key application domains. |
