Processing SAR Data in ArcGIS Notebooks - Error Step 7

AmjadAlmarwani — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 18:51:22 GMT

Hello!

I'm currently working on step 7 of the "Processing SAR Data in ArcGIS Notebooks" course. I'm trying to run the Python code provided to download the updated orbit file for Sentinel-1 GRD data. However, the code is not working for me, and I keep getting the following error:
ExecuteError: Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid.
ERROR 003514: The input is not a radar dataset - radar metadata is missing.
Failed to execute (DownloadOrbitFile).

I've checked the folder structure of the .SAFE file, and everything appears to be in place. I tried using both the Python notebook and the Geoprocessing pane, but I keep encountering the same error.
I'd appreciate any guidance or suggestions.

Thank you!🌼

Hi,

It seems that Sentinel-1C products are raising this error for all SAR tools, whereas Sentinel-1A/B work fine.

"Error 003514 The input is not a radar dataset - radar metadata is missing"

Could this issue please be forwarded to ArcGIS Pro technical teams?

Hi Laura,

They should have fixed it in version 3.5.3. If you can update the software it might work.

Hm, I'm using 3.6. So far support hasn't been able to figure it out either.
