TL;DR: The unique data availability performance of the Sentinel-1 routine operations makes the mission particularly suitable for emergency response support, marine surveillance, ice monitoring and interferometric applications such as detection of subsidence and landslides.

TL;DR: The ESA Sentinels constitute the first series of operational satellites respondin g to the Earth observation needs of the EU-ESA Global Monitor ing for Environment and Security (GMES) programme as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The preliminary parametric analysis on the along-track dynamic of the tandem flight formation between Sentinel-3 and FLEX shows that the control strategy proposed is able to fulfill the mission requirements under the expected conditions while providing enough time for the control center to coordinate the orbital maneuvers.

TL;DR: In this article , a microwave transponder has been operating at the CDN1 Cal/Val site on the mountains of Crete for about 6 years, to calibrate international satellite radar altimeters in the Ku-band.
