timing and location that can be used to merge the bursts and swaths together. Sentinel-1 performs systematic acquisition of bursts in both IW and EW modes. The bursts overlap almost perfectly between different passes and are always located at the same place. With the deployment...
Azimuth resolution is reduced compared to SM due to the shorter target illumination time of the burst. Using the sweeping azimuth pattern, each target is seen under the same antenna pattern, independently from its azimuth position in the burst image. By shrinking the azimuth antenna pattern, as ...
With support from industry experts, the team at ESOC analysed the state of the reaction wheels, coming up with a series of commands to change their speed and brake the spinning satellite. By late afternoon, the commands were sent and immediately showed success, but another three long hours pa...

2013). GX 339-4 is a binary system believed to harbour a >7 solar mass black hole and a low mass companion. Herschel data allows to probe the jets down to their base, where the far-infrared emission originates, allowing a better understanding of black-hole jets and of the physical ...
