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 Copernicus Sentinel-1 Earth Radar Observatory, a mission funded by the European Union and developed by ESA, is a constellation of two C-band radar satellites, which have been conceived to be a continuous and reliable source of SAR imagery for operational applications such as mapping of global landmasses, coastal zones and monitoring of shipping routes as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The Copernicus Sentinel-1 Earth Radar Observatory, a mission funded by the European Union and developed by ESA, is a constellation of two C-band radar satellites. as discussed by the authors describes the general satellite architecture, its key performance as well as its environmental qualification.

TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 system capabilities is provided, in particular the characteristics of the Sentinel1 SAR imaging modes and their key performance parameters, as well as the specifics of related attitude and orbit control modes.

TL;DR: The paper describes the general satellite architecture, AIT flow and the satellite key performances and provides also an overview on the CSAR Instrument, its development status and prelaunch SAR performance prediction.
