Inhalt:
The TerraSAR-X and the TanDEM-X satellites are operated for two missions in parallel: the TerraSAR-X and the TanDEM-X missions for scientific and commercial applications, providing a multitude of SAR products of high accuracy and reliability. After launch the whole SAR system has been successfully calibrated and verified for both satellites during their commissioning phases: TerraSAR-X in 2007 and TanDEM-X in 2010. In order to guarantee a stable quality of SAR products and to monitor the correct operation of the entire SAR systems, both systems are regularly monitored. This paper presents an overview, the current status and some results of the long-term system monitoring (LTSM) tasks executed since launch.
