Jan-2007 | TerraSAR-X operates alongside its twin, TanDEM-X, which form a pair of German SAR satellites created and operated
in a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between the German Aerospace Centre DLR
and Airbus Defence and Space. The scientific objective of the missions is to make multi-mode and high-resolution
X-band radar data available for a wide spectrum of applications in fields such as
hydrology, geology, climatology, oceanography, and disaster monitoring. The collection is composed by the copy of products requested by ESA supported projects
over their areas of interest around the world, and ESA offers access via the TPM scheme. - Read more |
