S1NG-A Mission

Objectives and Applications

The S1NG mission will provide enhanced performance and so improving the servicing to the existing applications, as well as enabling new services, related to: soil moisture, land cover mapping, crop type and status discrimination, forest type and forest cover (e.g. in support to biomass estimation), food security and precision farming, maritime surveillance, natural and anthropogenic hazards and the operational monitoring of the Cryosphere and polar regions including automatic sea ice mapping and land ice monitoring.
