Tandem-x Mission Concept and Status
نویسندگان
چکیده
TanDEM-X (TerraSAR-X Add-on for Digital Elevation Measurements) is a bistatic SAR interferometry mission which is currently implemented as a national Earth observation mission by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and EADS Astrium GmbH. This paper presents the concept and the current status of the TanDEM-X system and its orbit formation and operational modes, provides a summary of the global acquisitions strategy and gives an overview of new SAR techniques and applications which will be demonstrated with this first bistatic SAR formation in space.

متن کاملA Tandem TerraSAR-X Configuration for Single-Pass SAR Interferometry
TanDEM-X is a mission proposal for a TerraSAR-X add-on satellite to enable high-resolution single-pass SAR interferometry. The TanDEM-X mission has the goal of generating a global Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with an accuracy corresponding to the DTED-3 specifications (12 m posting, 2 m relative height accuracy for flat terrain). This paper describes the mission concept and requirements, inclu...
متن کاملThe Tandem-x Mission
TanDEM-X opens a new era in space borne radar remote sensing. The first bistatic SAR mission, is formed by adding a second, almost identical spacecraft, to TerraSARX and flying the two satellites in a closely controlled formation with typical distances between 250 and 500 m. Primary mission objective is the generation of a consistent global digital elevation model with an unprecedented accuracy...

متن کاملThe Global Tandem-x Dem: Production Status and First Validation Results
The TanDEM-X mission will derive a global digital elevation model (DEM) with satellite SAR interferometry. Two radar satellites (TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X) will map the Earth in a resolution and accuracy with an absolute height error of 10m and a relative height error of 2m for 90% of the data. In order to fulfill the height requirements in general two global coverages are acquired and processed....
