TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X Full Archive and Tasking
Jan-2007
| TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X are twin 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. ESA offers access to worldwide TerraSAR-X/Tandem-X data (both archived and new
acquisitions) and WorldDEM products via the TPM scheme. Read more
