ESA Sentinel-1 Satellite C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (C-SAR)
|
According to the European Space Agency:
"Sentinel-1 is a two satellite constellation with the prime objectives of Land and Ocean monitoring. The goal of the mission is to provide C-Band SAR data continuity following the retirement of ERS-2 and the end of the Envisat mission.
"To accomplish this the satellites carry a C-SAR sensor, which offers medium and high resolution imaging in all weather conditiions. The C-SAR is capable of obtaining night imagery and detecting small movement on the ground, which makes it useful for land and sea monitoring."
Interestingly, Sentinel-1 C-SAR data were used in 2016 to confirm that the new Millennium Tower building in San Francisco is slowly sinking.
