TanDEM-X: Mission Status and Science Activities
The paper provides an up to date overview of the German TanDEM-X satellite mission status and its ongoing science activities. The global digital elevation model (DEM) of TanDEM-X became available in 2016 and surpassed all expectations: It has 99.9% coverage, 12-m posting, absolute height accuracy of...
