SENTINEL-3 makes use of multiple sensing instruments to accomplish its objectives as well. They are:
- SLSTR (Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer)
- OLCI (Ocean and Land Colour Instrument)
- SRAL (SAR Altimeter)
- DORIS (Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite)
- MWR (Microwave Radiometer).
The mission will support ocean forecasting systems, as well as environmental and climate monitoring. Sentinel-3A was launched on 16 February 2016 and Sentinel-3B will join its twin in orbit on 25 April 2018.
