TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X are German radar satellites from DLR (the German Aerospace Center). TerraSAR-X launched in 2007 and was joined by TanDEM-X in 2010. Both satellites remain operational. The twin satellites feature a unique geometric accuracy that is unmatched by any other spaceborne sensor.

TerraSAR-X is an imaging radar Earth observation satellite, a joint venture being carried out under a public-private-partnership between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and EADS Astrium. The exclusive commercial exploitation rights are held …

Oct 11, 2023 · TerraSAR-X (TSX) is an Earth observation satellite mission. It provides high-resolution X-band data for use in climatology, environmental and disaster monitoring, hydrology, geology, oceanography and cartography.

TerraSAR-X is a German Earth-observation satellite. Its primary payload is an X-band radar sensor with a range of different modes of operation, allowing it to acquire images with different swath widths, resolutions and polarisations.

DLR's TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X are twin satellites flying in close formation to acquire SAR data of unique geometric accuracy. Operating together, the missions deliver data that are used to generate Digital Elevation Models of Earth.

Oct 4, 2017 · TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X are commercial German Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Earth observation satellites, which were launched in June 2007 and June 2010 respectively. Both satellites feature a scheduled lifetime of 5 years.

TerraSAR-X orbits the Earth in a 514 km Sun-synchronous dusk-dawn orbit with a 97° inclination and an 11 day repeat period. For the performance of high quality repeat pass SAR interferometry, the motion of TerraSAR-X is controlled in a predefined tube of …

Jun 14, 2022 · The German radar satellite TerraSAR-X celebrates its 15th anniversary in space on 15 June 2022. TerraSAR-X allows researchers worldwide to document and better understand the changes on our planet. TerraSAR-X serves two missions – the TerraSAR-X mission and the TanDEM-X mission for three-dimensional mapping of Earth's surface.

TerraSAR-X is an X-band SAR mission for scientific reasearch and applications. It is the first satellite to be built in a public/private partnership in Germany. It carries the experimental Tracking, Occultation and Ranging (TOR) package provided by GFZ and CSR.

Jan 19, 2010 · TerraSAR-X is a versatile synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite with active phased array antenna technology and represents the backbone of the German national radar Earth observation mission.
