Abstract:
TanDEM-X (TerraSAR-X Add on for Digital Elevation Measurements) is a national mission proposal for a new generation SAR satellite operating at X-band in single pass SAR interferometry. The single pass SAR interferometric constellation is realised by two independent X-band satellites flying in formation and has the goal to deliver a global digital elevation model in a HRTI-3 specification. In this paper the scientific exploration will be presented. TanDEM-X has been accepted for realisation in March 2006 following a successful demonstration.
