Data can be accessed from: https://sentinel.esa.inthttps://sentinel.esa.int The Sentinel-1A spacecraft is in a stable state, operating in Nominal Mission Mode (NMM), with all sub-systems working on prime units. The Flight Operations Segment (FOS) ensuring the monitoring, control and commanding of the satellite is operating nominally. Orbit control manoeuvres are performed once a week typically X-Band data acquisitions are routinely performed over Matera, Svalbard and Maspalomas X-band core stations. The acquired data are circulated within the PDGS, systematically processed to Level-0 and Level-1 products and archived at PACs (UK and Germany). Level-2 product operational qualification is on-going Sentinel-1A is contributing to the scientific analysis of the M7.8 Nepal earthquake that occurred on 25 April. Sentinel-1A Status
