Sentinel-1A, the first component of the Copernicus Space Segment developed by the European Space Agency, has been launched 3 April 2014. The LEOP Phase is expected to last three days where all subsystems and the SAR instrument will be checked. It will immediately be followed by the three-month Commissioning Phase that will include the in-orbit Calibration and Characterisation, and the verification of the satellite, in order to deliver a full functional and well performing satellite to the mission operations. This paper will present the LEOP and Commissioning activities already completed, and the status of Calibration, Characterisation and Verification activities of the Commissioning in place.
