Imaging Microwave RadiometerBeing developedA conical scanning total power radiometer operating in 5 bands (L/C/X/K/Ka) to provide high-spatial resolution microwave imaging radiometry measurements and derived products with continuous global coverage and sub-daily revisit in the polar regions and adjacent seas.Multi-purpose imaging MW radiometer
P-Band SARBeing developedForest biomass monitoring. Products are Forest Above Ground Biomass, Forest height and Forest Distrubance.Imaging radar (SAR)
LTIApprovedThe aim of MAGIC is to obtain high-resolution measurements in space and time and include the capability to determine the variations in gravity field due to mass change in hydrology, cryosphere, oceanography, solid Earth and climate change signals so as to serve science and operational products including emergency services.n/a
