On 8 May 2014, the European Commission and the European Space Agency published some of the first high quality images delivered by Sentinel-1A launched on 3 April 2014.

The images on the state of sea ice, the sea and of the land underline that Copernicus, the largest civil Earth Observation programme ever conceived, is progressing according to plan. The programme will contribute to an improved and more frequent observation of Earth sub-systems, including the atmosphere, oceans, and continental surfaces.
