The European Space Agency (ESA) has taken another important step in Earth observation with the successful launch of the Sentinel-1D satellite. The satellite was launched from French Guiana on an Ariane 6 rocket and will join the existing Sentinel-1 fleet. This mission is critical for the continuous provision of radar data essential for environmental monitoring and disaster response.
Sentinel-1D is part of the Copernicus Earth observation mission, which provides high-resolution radar images of the Earth’s surface. These images are available regardless of weather conditions or time of day, making them particularly valuable for monitoring natural disasters and environmental changes. The data is used by a wide range of users worldwide, including environmental authorities, climate researchers and maritime organizations.
The successful commissioning of Sentinel-1D marks the end of the first generation of Sentinel-1 satellites. Together with its twin Sentinel-1C, the new satellite will optimize global coverage and data delivery. Both satellites are equipped with a C-band SAR instrument that captures high-resolution images of the Earth’s surface while improving detection and tracking of ships in maritime zones.
The Copernicus mission is a prime example of Europe’s technological excellence. It was developed in close collaboration between ESA, the European Commission and industry. Data from Sentinel missions form the basis of Copernicus’s operational information services, which help manage the environment, monitor climate change and protect human lives.
