1 Sentinel-1 PDGS Procurement Overview 5 May 2009, pg. 1

2 Main Mission Objectives & Characteristics Sentinel-1 Mission Overview Sentinel-1 is a polar-orbiting SAR satellite constellation for operational SAR applications, primarily focussed on those offered by the GMES Fast Track Services (Land Monitoring Core Service, Ocean Monitoring Core Service, and Emergency Respond Core Service). The Sentinel-1 mission will ensure the C-band data continuity to satisfy requirements defined in the Sentinel-1 Mission Requirements Document, current requirements from GMES Core Services and Downstream services, the projection of these requirements for the GSC operations phase from 2012 onwards and the expected National and scientific requirements. 80 Km Km Km Orbit: Near Polar Sun-Synchronous Repeat cycle: 12 days. 175 orbits Payload: C-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (central frequency GHz) Constellation: Sentinel-1 system will be composed of two satellites, Sentinel-1 A & B Duty cycle: up to 25 min in high rate mode and the rest of the orbit in WV mode Schedule (Sentinel-1A): Launch Q May 2009, pg. 2
