Following the previous news on the Sentinel-1B anomaly that occurred on 23 December 2021, very detailed investigations related to the satellite power system’s affected unit are on-going, and will require some additional weeks.
The objective is to identify the root cause of the anomaly and then possibly perform new attempts for the reactivation of the unit.
The satellite remains under control, the thermal control system works properly and the regular orbit control manoeuvres are routinely performed.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Calling on all interested users of Sentinel data, who would like to submit their results, turning their experiences into 'success stories'.
If you have a good story to tell, of how any of the Sentinel satellites are producing data that bring benefit to your work and/or to society, please contact the Sentinel Online Editor Malì Cecere at: mali.cecere@ejr-quartz.com with your proposals.
