Earth Observation with SAR Satellite Formations: New Techniques and Innovative Products
This paper discusses the use of small satellites for future radar remote sensing applications. After a short introduction, we give first an overview of the TanDEM-X mission to be launched in autumn 2009. Here, special emphasis is put on the demonstration of innovative synthetic aperture radar (SAR)...
