Watch the spectacular EU Satellite Space Launch of the Copernicus Sentinel-1D. This is the latest satellite from the EU Space Programme. It lifted off on 4 November 2025 aboard an Ariane 6 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana.
Sentinel-1D continues Europe’s radar-based Earth observation mission, delivering 24/7, all-weather imagery to monitor climate change, natural disasters, maritime safety, and environmental protection.
Equipped with a Galileo receiver, it strengthens Europe’s autonomy in space while freely sharing vital data worldwide.
