Jan-2019 | COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation (CSG), composed of two SAR satellites, is at
the forefront of radar technology, and will ensure improvements and guarantee
continuity with the First Generation COSMO-SkyMed (CSK) satellites, preserving
the high quality and the highest precision features, both required for the
interferometric activities. ESA offers access to worldwide COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation data (both archived
and new acquisitions) via the TPM scheme. Read more |
