TanDEM-X First DEM Acquisition: A Crossing Orbit Experiment
This letter describes the first interferometric acquisitions and results obtained by the TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurements mission. Due to the large along-track separation between the two satellites during the approaching maneuver and the Earth's rotation, useful interferomet...
