Following its launch on 4 November 2025, Copernicus Sentinel-1D has delivered its first images. Among these is this radar image acquired on 7 November 2025, showing northern Germany.
The false colour visualisation of the image highlights different types of land cover such as cultivated fields, water bodies, and urban areas, including the cities of Bremen, Bremerhaven, Oldenburg, and Meldorf. The Elbe and Weser rivers flowing into the North Sea are visible in deep blue tones, along with the Wadden Sea.
