Inhalt:
Sentinel-1 (S-1) is a constellation of two C-band SAR satellites whose development is co-funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Commission (EC) as part of the Copernicus space program. S-1A was launched in May 2014 followed by the S-1B unit two years after. The constellation is operational since September 2016 after the successful commissioning of the second unit. Starting from 23rd December 2021, S-1B is unavailable due to an issue in the power supply unit. This paper provides an update of the instruments status and recalls the last results achieved in terms of radiometric and geometric accuracy.
