Les 1eres images de Sentinel1C
Less than a week after its launch, the Copernicus #Sentinel1 C satellite has delivered its first radar images of Earth! This Sentinel-1C image of the Netherlands echoes the very first SAR image acquired by the legacy European Remote-Sensing (ERS) mission in 1991, which captured the Flevoland polder and the Ijsselmeer – marking the first European radar image ever taken from space. 🌍🇪🇺 In this image you can concretely spot part of the Netherlands, including Amsterdam and the region of Flevoland, renowned for its extensive farmland and advanced water management systems. Our satellite is equipped with a state-of-the-art C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) instrument. This cutting-edge technology allows it to deliver high-resolution imagery day and night, in all weather conditions. This is how it supports critical applications such as environmental management, disaster response and climate change research. #EUSpace
