The contribution focuses on the current status of the ESA study entitled “InSARAP Sentinel-1 Constellation Study”, which investigates the interferometric performance of the S1A/S1B units. General aspects like the interferometric compatibility in terms of common range and Doppler bandwidth and the burst synchronization are addressed. Besides the first interferometric results with both units, time series results over the pilot sites combining both satellites are also shown, as well as some investigations with fast moving (i.e., glaciers) scenarios.
