The Copernicus program, and particularly Sentinel-1, are among the largest Earth Observation SAR data providers, serving an ever-increasing number of services, users, and applications. A key aspect of the program is the constant provision of quality data, which requires long term engagement to carefully monitor, preserve, and even improve the system performances. These tasks are mainly carried out within the SAR Mission Performance Cluster (SAR-MPC), an international consortium of SAR experts in charge of the continuous monitoring of the Sentinel-1 instruments status and of the L1 and L2 products quality. This paper provides an update on the monitoring and the actions implemented by the SAR-MPC during 2022 and 2023. The analysis regards the monitoring of the instrument status, the evaluation of the instrument radiometric and geometric accuracy, and the updates of the S-1 Instrument Processing Facility
