How many spectral bands does Sentinel-1 have?
SENTINEL-1 carries a single C-band synthetic aperture radar instrument operating at a centre frequency of 5.405 GHz.
What is Sentinel-1 image?
SENTINEL-1 is an imaging radar mission providing continuous all-weather, day-and-night imagery at C-band.
What is Sentinel-1 and Sentinel 2?
The first Sentinel-1 satellite was launched in April 2014. The objective of Sentinel-2 is land monitoring, and the mission will be composed of two polar-orbiting satellites providing high-resolution optical imagery. Vegetation, soil and coastal areas are among the monitoring objectives.
