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, day and night. This data is good for a wide range of land and maritime applications, from mapping floods, to deforestation, to oil spills, and more.
Sentinel-1 Explorer is an ArcGIS Living Atlas app that enables you to unlock and explore the wealth of information that Sentinel provides. A new tutorial, intended for educators and students, but useful to anyone that wants to learn more about Sentinel-1 Explorer, has just been published.
For more information, see Learn to explore Sentinel-1 imagery using Sentinel-1 Explorer by @BernSzukalski and @RobertWaterman.
