Sentinel-1 is a spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging system and mission from the European Space Agency and the European Commission. The mission launched and began collecting imagery in 2014.

With the ability to see through cloud and smoke cover, and because it does not rely on solar illumination of the Earth's surface, Sentinel-1 is able to collect useful imagery in most weather conditions, during both day and night. This data is good for wide range of land and maritime applications, from mapping floods, to deforestation, to oil spills, and more.

The newly introduced Sentinel-1 Explorer leverages a variety of ArcGIS capabilities to explore and begin to unlock the wealth of information that Sentinel-1 provides.
