The Sentinel-1B satellite is now fuelled and ready to join the Soyuz rocket that will take it into orbit on 22 April at 21:02 GMT (23:02 CEST). Once in orbit, it will provide radar images of Earth for Europe's Copernicus environmental monitoring programme.

Despite only being in orbit a matter of weeks, Sentinel-3A has already delivered some impressive first images. With the thermal-infrared channels now turned on, the satellite completes its set of firsts with a view of ocean features off the coast of Namibia.
Infrastructure maintenance activities are foreseen on the data hubs on Wednesday, 06 April 2016 from 09:00 CEST to 17:00 CEST.
ESA and Australia's national geological survey, Geoscience Australia, today agreed to cooperate to ensure data from the EU's Sentinel satellites are accessible in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.
Following a major power loss issue on 26 March at the Processing and Archiving Centre located in the UK, the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 ground segment operations are progressively being restarted.
ESA has agreed with NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the US Geological Survey (USGS) to make data available to them from the European Sentinel satellites.
In order to perform the upload of a new Payload Data Handling and Transmission (PDHT) sub-system software, the Sentinel-1 mission will be unavailable next Tuesday, 15 March from 7:30 to 13:00 UTC approximately.
The Sentinel-1B satellite has arrived in French Guiana to be prepared for liftoff on 22 April. It will join its identical twin, Sentinel-1A, in orbit to provide more radar views of Earth for Europe's Copernicus environmental monitoring effort.
The three instruments on the Sentinel-3A satellite are now offering a tantalising glimpse of what's in store for Europe's Copernicus environmental monitoring effort. The latest images, which feature Europe and Antarctica, come from the sensor that records Earth's radiant energy.

Following the first impressive images from Sentinel-3A, this latest Copernicus satellite is now showing us how another of its instruments, an altimeter, will track sea-level change.
