According to BBC News:

The European Space Agency has launched a second radar satellite into the EU's new Sentinel constellation.
Sentinel-1b was carried into orbit by a Soyuz rocket that flew out of Sinamary in French Guiana.
The new platform will monitor shipping lanes for pollution and icebergs, and survey land surfaces for evidence of subsidence — to name just three of the myriad applications for radar imagery.
