About SENTINEL 1C

SENTINEL 1C is a satellite from the European Space Agency, launched on Dec 5, 2024 from French Guiana.

It circles Earth every 99 minutes (14.6 times a day), between 695 and 697 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.2° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 82° north and south.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
