Artist's impression of the European Sentinel-1 spacecraft in Earth orbit. The Sentinel-1 spacecraft is expected to weigh around 2200 kilogrammes at launch and image the Earth in swaths of 250 kilometres in diameter with a ground resolution of five metres. The ESA Sentinels, composed of five satellites, constitute the first series of operational satellites responding to the needs of the GMES (Global monitoring for environnement and security) programme.
Sentinel-1 is scheduled to be launched in 2011.
