  Quartet of electronic intelligence satellites, which succeed Essaim as France's next space-based SIGINT demonstrator. Like Essaim, Elisa consists of four Myriade microsatellites equipped with electronic intelligence instruments to intercept radar transmissions from space. Elisa was to offer a pre-operational capability until a fully operational space-based intelligence capability would be deployed in 2016.

• Sentinel-1A - . Mass: 2,157 kg (4,755 lb). Nation: Europe. Class: Surveillance. Type: Military Radarsat. Spacecraft: Prima. USAF Sat Cat: 39634 . COSPAR: 2014-016A. Apogee: 692 km (429 mi). Perigee: 690 km (420 mi). Inclination: 98.16 deg. Period: 98.58 min.

  First satellite in the European Commission's Sentinel/Copernicus Earth observing program. Sentinel-1A's C-band SAR was 13.3 x 0.8m in size. The satellite was only a quarter the mass of its predecessor Envisat which carried a wider array of instruments; in the Sentinel program there will be a series of smaller, more specialized satellites. At 05:14 GMT on April 5, Sentinel made a maneuver to avoid a very close pass by NASA's defunct ACRIMSAT satellite, which failed on December 14 2013 after suffering battery issues.

• Sentinel-1B - . Mass: 2,157 kg (4,755 lb). Nation: Europe. Class: Surveillance. Type: Military Radarsat. Spacecraft: Prima. USAF Sat Cat: 41456 . COSPAR: 2016-025A. Apogee: 700 km (430 mi). Perigee: 695 km (431 mi). Inclination: 98.20 deg.

  Arianespace flight VS14. The Fregat stage first burn reached an initial orbit of 695 x 700 km and deployed the Sentinel-1B radar imaging satellite for ESA. It then made a burn to 442 x 690 km and deployed three 1U cubesats. The ASAP-S adapter was ejected into the same orbit. Next, the Fregat stage made two more burns to reach 711 x 714 km and released the Microscope satellite. Finally, at 0118 UTC, Fregat made a deorbit burn and reentered over the S Atlantic. 1800LT SSO.
