The paper discusses quasi repeat-pass SAR interferometry exploiting crossing orbits in order to obtain short revisit times of 1, 5 and 6 days with the TerraSAR-X or TanDEM-X satellite. A special acquisition geometry is necessary for interferometry under crossing orbits to preserve common ground spec...
