TerraSAR-X SAR Payload Data Processing: Results from Commissioning and Early Operational Phase
TerraSAR-X, the first national German radar satellite, was launched in June 2007. It carries an X-band highresolution synthetic aperture radar instrument featuring the operational imaging modes Stripmap, ScanSAR and, particularly, Spotlight in a variety of different polarization modes. The TerraSAR-X mission completed its commissioning phase in December 2007 and started the provision of high-re...
متن کاملTanDEM-X: First Scientific Experiments during the Commissioning Phase
In this paper new and innovative techniques during the commissioning phase of TanDEM-X will be presented that are firstly demonstrated on a satellite platform. The focus is on the secondary goals of TanDEM-X that are assigned for the third year of the mission time life due to the tight schedule for the acquisition of the highly accurate global digital elevation model. Therefore, a variety of sc...
متن کاملFirst TOPSAR image and interferometry results with TerraSAR-X
TOPSAR is a recently proposed SAR mode for wide swath acquisition, which is foreseen to be used by the ESA Sentinel-1 SAR sensor in its main interferometric wide swath mode. The Microwaves and Radar Institute of the German Aerospace Center is validating TOPSAR mode in space with TerraSAR-X data within the framework of an ESA commissioned project. Several TOPSAR images have been successfully com...
متن کاملFirst Terrasar-x Interferometry Evaluation
The German radar satellite TerraSAR-X was launched in June 2007 [1] and is currently ending its commissioning phase. We anticipate quite different interferometric application scenarios compared to ERS1/2 and ASAR due to the X-band frequency, the short orbital repeat cycles of 11 days, the high range resolution and the spotlight mode of this sensor. During the commissioning phase we have schedul...
متن کاملSea Surface Wind Field by X-band Terrasar-x and Tandem-x
In the present study, we present the newly developed Geophysical Model Function (GMF), denoted XMOD2, to retrieve the sea surface wind field from X-band TerraSAR-X/Tandem-X (TS-X/TD-X) data. In contrary to the previous XMOD1, XMOD2 is based on a nonlinear GMF, and moreover it also depicts the difference between upwind and downwind of the sea surface backscatter. By exploiting 371 collocations, ...
