Sentinel-1C during thermal vacuum tests

Copernicus Sentinel-1C undergoing thermal vacuum tests, which simulate the thermal conditions that the satellite will experience in orbit. Scheduled to lift off on ESA’s new Vega-C rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana in the first half of 2023, Sentinel-1C will continue the critical task of delivering key radar imagery for a wide range of services, applications and science – all of which benefit society.
