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.

A 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...

The 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...

The 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....
