TerraSAR-X
|
TerraSAR-X is an X-band German Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite that can provide imaging resolution down to 1 m at any time of the day or night and regardless of weather. The satellite was launched on June 15, 2007, and became fully operational on January 7, 2008. TerrSAR-X is in a 514 km altitude nearly-polar orbit (97.44 deg inclination circular orbit).
The peak radiated power of the SAR emissions is 2260 W, linearly polarized. The pulse repetition rate is 2.2 - 6.5 kHz. The repeat time to appear at the same point on Earth is 11 days, but including beam coverage, the signal can be seen as frequently as every 2.5 days at a given spot on Earth.
