Accuracy | Instrument Description | Measurement Technology | Timeline |
| SGR-ReSI-Z | Being developed +/-90 % | Ocean winds, waves, soil moisture, flooding, freeze / thaw state over permafrost, biomass, ice, snow | n/a |  |
| L-Band SAR | Approved | L-band SAR instrument offering full polarimetry, high spatial resolution, high sensitivity, low ambiguity ratios and capability for repeat-pass & single-pass cross-track interferometry to measure surface deformation of vegetated terrain, soil moisture, land cover classification, crop type discrimination and its temporal analysis. Furthermore, it will monitor Polar ice sheets and ice caps, and the sea-ice conditions (i.e. type, drift, deformation, concentration, lead fraction), as well as contribute to the European maritime situational awareness. | n/a | |
