TanDEM-X Acquisition Planner
The TanDEM-X mission (TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement) consists of two almost iden-tical satellites, TerraSAR-X (TSX) and TanDEM-X (TDX), launched in 2006 and 2010 respectively. They form a single-pass SAR interferometer with adjustable baselines in cross and along-track directio...

The TanDEM-X mission (TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement) consists of two almost iden-tical satellites, TerraSAR-X (TSX) and TanDEM-X (TDX), launched in 2006 and 2010 respectively. They form a single-pass SAR interferometer with adjustable baselines in cross and along-track directions. The primary mis-sion goal is to generate a global digital elevation model (DEM) with an unprecedented relative height accuracy of 2 meters at 12 meters posting. The flexibility of the formation flying system provides a configurable platform that allows carrying out secondary mission goals like local DEMs of even higher accuracy and along-track inter-ferometry applications . The mutual satellite lifetime of three years constraints the time to fullfil the TanDEM-X primary mission goal. To achieve the mission requirements in terms of height resolution, the acquisition strategy has been divided into three phases.
