An un-precedented sub-daily coverage of the polar regions
The CIMR mission is specifically designed to ensure sub-daily coverage everywhere in the Arctic region, so as to support the Integrated EU Arctic Policy.
Particularly, CIMR will achieve full sub-daily coverage of the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas (including "no hole at the pole").

The colormap shows the number of revisits during a 24 hours period.
By symmetry, the excellent coverage will also be available over the Antarctic region.

More than 95% of the globe will be covered on a daily basis.
