Na zeven jaar van ontwerpen, samenstellen en uitproberen gaat Sentinel-1A op 3 april de ruimte in met een Sojoez-raket.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>De satelliet weegt bij lancering maar 2300 kilo. Sentinel-1A heeft een nogal ongebruikelijk ontwerp, met zijn twee vleugels van tien meter met zonnepanelen en een twaalf meter lange radarantenne. Bij lancering zijn de zonnepanelen nog opgevouwen. Ze passen dan onder de stroomlijnkap die de neus van de raket beschermt. Eenmaal in de ruimte vouwen de panelen zich gezamenlijk maar in zorgvuldig geplande volgorde uit. Na ongeveer tien uur zijn ze allemaal volledig open.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"5500\" data-credit=\"ESA\/P.

Zo brengt de satelliet veranderingen in het zeeijs van de noordpool in kaart, speurt de zee af op olievlekken en spoort schepen op. Verder gaat hij bossen, water en bodem bestuderen, en biedt ondersteuning in crisissituaties. Hij is in feite de enige Europese satelliet die speciaal is ontworpen om snel te reageren bij natuurrampen zoals overstromingen en aardbevingen.<\/p>\n<p>De lancering van een tweede, identieke Sentinel-1 is gepland voor volgend jaar.
