The ESA Sentinels will be the first series of operational satellites to meet the Earth observation needs of the European Union - ESA Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme. Existing and planned space assets will be complemented by new developments from ESA. The first is Sentinel-1, a pair of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging satellites.
