Sentinel-1C solar wing deployed

The Copernicus Sentinel-1C satellite is currently undergoing a series of tests at Thales Alenia Space’s plant in Cannes, France, including the deployment of the satellite’s 10-m long solar wings. 

Sentinel-1C is the third Sentinel-1 satellite to be launched as part of Europe’s Copernicus programme. It will continue the critical task of delivering radar imagery for a wide range of services, applications and science – all of which benefit society.
