Sentinel-1C's rocket fairing signed

Following Sentinel-1C encapsulation inside the Vega-C rocket fairing, the team at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou has signed the sticker on the rocket as per tradition.

Scheduled to lift off on 5 December 2024, 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.
