TerraSAR-X / TanDEM-X

Our Radar satellites acquire datasets ranging from very high-resolution to widearea coverage. Data is acquired independent of weather conditions. After the successful launch of HisdeSAT’s X-band SAR satellite PAZ (a TerraSAR-X / TanDEM-X clone), the newly build Radar Constellation provides an increased acquisition capacity as well as an improved global mean revisit time (~ daily revisit) and a significantly reduced interferometric repeat cycle (4 days / 7 days), supporting data-hungry, high monitoring frequency applications. The Radar Constellation builds the reliable basis for a broad services & applications portfolio, benefitting from its accurate measurement, reliable monitoring and Near-Real-Time product capabilities.
