The Sentinel-1 NG SAR instrument is designed to quadruple image resolution relative to the first generation of Sentinel satellites.

The Sentinel-1 NG satellites will include an automatic identification system for ships that complements the SAR instrument.

Sentinel-1 NG is intended to provide radar imaging capabilities that are much better than those of the first-generation Sentinel satellites.

The Sentinel-1 NG SAR instrument will use a large planar active antenna and multichannel acquisition technologies based on new modular electronic units.

Sentinel-1 NG is expected to broaden coverage across Europe and globally and reduce the time between successive acquisitions.

Thales Alenia Space previously used the MILA platform on the Copernicus missions CHIME, CIMR, and ROSE-L.
