Inhalt:
Paz is a Spanish SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission developed for the National Program of Earth Observation by Satellite. Launched in early 2018, it carries an X-band SAR sensor capable of generating products that fulfill a broad range of applications. Presently, calibration and validation activities for Paz are limited to daily and long-term instrument monitoring, as well as verification of image performance through the analysis of instrument, antenna, and complex image parameters. This paper provides an overview of the mission's calibration status, incorporating updated values for these parameters.
