Sentinel-1. Computer illustration showing the paths (grey) imaged by the Sentinel 1 satellites as they orbit the Earth. Sentinel-1 consists of two satellites orbiting Earth 180 degrees apart. Working together,they offer global revisit every six days. Sentinel-1A was launched in 2014 and Sentinel-1B is scheduled for 2016. The satellites carry an advanced radar instrument to image Earth's surface through cloud and rain,and regardless of whether it is day or night.
