The TerraSAR-X Mission
The German national SAR-satellite system TerraSAR-X is based on a public-private-partnership agreement between the German Aerospace center DLR and EADS Astrium GmbH. It is the continuation of the scientifically and technologically successful radar missions X-SAR (1994) and SRTM (2000) and is designed for scientific and commercial applications. The TerraSAR-X features an advanced high-resolution...
متن کاملThe TerraSAR-L Interferometric Mission Objectives
TerraSAR-L is the new imaging radar mission of the European Space Agency. The platform, based on the novel Snapdragon concept, is built around the active phase array antenna of the L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Specification of the L-SAR has been guided by careful analysis of the product requirements resulting in a robust baseline design with considerable margins. Besides having a comm...

متن کاملForeword to the Special Issue on TerraSAR-X: Mission, Calibration, and First Results
T ERRASAR-X is Germany's first civil radar satellite. It has been realized in a public–private partnership between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and EADS Astrium GmbH. The high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite, which was successfully launched on June 15, 2007, delivers high-quality radar images for scientific and commercial applications. TerraSAR-X is the fruit of consist...
متن کاملFirst results from the GPS atmosphere sounding experiment TOR aboard the TerraSAR-X satellite
GPS radio occultation events observed between 24 July and 17 November 2008 by the IGOR occultation receiver aboard the TerraSAR-X satellite are processed and analyzed. The comparison of 15 327 refractivity profiles with collocated ECMWF data yield a mean bias between zero and −0.30 % at altitudes between 5 and 30 km. Standard deviations decrease from about 1.4 % at 5 km to about 0.6 % at 10 km ...
