Hello,  I am Woojoo i.

On December 5th, the Copernicus Sentinel-1C was launched aboard a Vega-C rocket and successfully captured its first images just 56 hours and 23 minutes later.

We are now in an era where satellite images can be obtained in less than a week after launch.

We are also eagerly awaiting the first images from SpaceEye-T, which is set to launch soon.

Launched on 5 December from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana aboard a Vega-C rocket, Sentinel-1C is equipped with a state-of-the-art C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) instrument. This cutting-edge technology allows the satellite to deliver high-resolution imagery day and night, in all weather conditions, supporting critical applications such as environmental management, disaster response and climate change research.
