L-SAR (LT-1) Instrument

Measurements and Applications

In phase I, two satellites fly in a formation with a variable baseline, and the bistatic InSAR stripmap mode is utilized to acquire the global digital elevation and terrain models with high accuracy and spatial resolution. In phase II, two satellites shall share the common reference orbit with a 180-degree orbital phasing difference. The repeat cycle will be decreased to 4 days and topographic variations with millimetre accuracy at large scale can be measured using the differential InSAR techniq
