Sentinel-1C is a European radar imaging Earth observation satellite launched on 5 December, 2024 by Vega C.[1][2][3][4] It is the third satellite in the Sentinel-1 constellation, part of the European Union's Copernicus programme.[5][6][7][8] The satellite is equipped with a C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instrument, capable of providing high-resolution imagery regardless of weather conditions.[9]
Timeline
[edit | edit source]Development contract signed with Thales Alenia Space of Italy in December 2015.[10] Launch was scheduled for April 2023[11][12][13] but was delayed due to a launch failure of Vega-C in December 2022.[14] It was launched on 5 December 2024.[15]
