The first images from the Sentinel-1 satellite, launched on April 3, 2014, are now being made available for open access in Europe, thanks to the European Commission's Open Data policy. This allows small businesses and individuals to use these images to develop new products and services, such as monitoring sea ice zones, land surface motion risks, and mapping of land surfaces, among others. CartoDB, a tool that harnesses satellite imagery, is excited to partner with scientists and users to extract value from these satellites, particularly with the European Earth Observation Programme Copernicus and its Sentinel missions.
