contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) for the development of the two Sentinel-1 Next Generation satellites. The contract signed today represents the first tranche of a contract worth a total of 700 million euros.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003eSentinel-1NG is part of Copernicus, the Earth Observation component of the European Union’s Space Program, which is managed by the European Commission and co-funded by the EU and the European Space Agency.

The Italian Space Agency (ASI) also supports this mission.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003eSentinel-1 Next Generation will be led under Thales Alenia Space’s industrial prime contractorship, with Airbus Defence and Space as main industrial partner being responsible for the C Band SAR instrument.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSentinel-1 NG: the mission at a glance\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure role=\"group\" class=\"caption caption-drupal-media\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"media media--type-immagine media--view-mode-full\"\u003e\n  \n      \n            \u003cdiv class=\"field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item\"\u003e  \u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://tas-static.thalesaleniaspace.com/cms/public/thales_images/sentinel-1-ngcthales-alenia-space_briot.jpg?VersionId=tqaT_DS8_mFNMMd7xo8TBm3mG1rMcOTJ\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" alt=\"sentinel-1-ng_thales-alenia-space_briot.jpg\"\u003e\n\n\u003c/div\u003e\n      \n  \u003c/article\u003e\n\n\u003cfigcaption\u003e©Thales Alenia Space_E.Briot\u003c/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c/figure\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003eSentinel-1 NG will provide observation data for environmental protection, climate monitoring, natural disaster assessment, and many other societal applications.

The satellites will ensure the continuity of the first-generation Sentinel 1 family, for which Thales Alenia Space was also responsible for the space segment.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003eThe SAR uses a large active planar antenna (Phased Array) measuring 13.6 m x 0.94 m and employs the innovative multichannel acquisition technique enabled by new Modular Electronic Units developed by Thales Alenia Space. This allows image resolution to be improved up to four times compared to the first generation and enables observation of a larger area.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003eImprovements over the first generation include the implementation of the Quad-polarization operating mode, essential for modern land monitoring applications, and a specific operating mode for sea ice observation (Polar Mode).\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003eThe MILA multi-mission platform will also meet space debris mitigation requirements and the implementation of a controlled re-entry of the satellites into the atmosphere at the end of their operational life.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThales Alenia Space’s role and countries’ contributions\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003eWhile the program’s prime contractorship is led by Thales Alenia Space in Italy, our teams in Belgium will supply the Power Conditioning and Distribution Unit (PCDU) and the photovoltaic assembly for the solar panel (PVA).
