Abstract

The paper provides an overview of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 system capabilities and applications. In particular, the characteristics of the Sentinel-1 SAR imaging modes and their key performance parameters are described. In addition, the Sentinel-1 SAR interferometry (InSAR) capabilities, especially for TOPS InSAR and the strategy for maintaining the orbital baseline as well as the requirements for TOPS image co-registration are discussed.
