A veteran Soviet ballistic missile converted into a space launcher successfully delivered a European Earth-watching spacecraft on April 25, 2018, expanding the Copernicus environment-monitoring satellite constellation. Sentinel-3B is a twin for Sentinel-3A launched more than two years ago from the same launch site in Plesetsk. Together, the duo will be able to deliver remote sensing data to the ground within three hours after scanning a particular region on Earth.
