Inhalt:
The SAR satellites TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X are operated to acquire high-resolution SAR images for scientific and commercial applications as well as a high precision digital elevation model (DEM). In order to assure the expected quality of those products and to monitor the performance of the SAR systems, long-term system monitoring (LTSM) is performed for the critical system parameters. Stimulated by this monitoring, studies are made to understand the correlation of on-board system responses with dedicated space events. This paper presents the current status of the two satellites and the results of the correlations studies.
