EventTwo weeks after launch, ESA’s Sentinel‑3C delivered its inaugural images, depicting Italy, the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and the Caribbean. Early data from its SAR altimeter show Greenland ice‑sheet height and sea‑surface height, while the satellite remains in commissioning, expected to finish in about five months.
The European Space Agency’s new Sentinel‑3C satellite has returned its first images—showing the Canadian Arctic and measuring Greenland’s ice sheet height and sea surface.
Europe’s new Sentinel‑3C satellite captured its first images of the frozen Arctic and demonstrated promising early measurements of Greenland’s ice sheet and ocean surface height, indicating its readiness to support climate monitoring.
