Abstract:
This study presents an X-band inverse SAR imaging of the ISS. The ISAR system technical characteristics are the same as expected for the prospective spaceborne SAR payload currently under development. ISAR images of the ISS are obtained using 3 meters diameter antenna in Spotlight mode with resolutions of 0.25 meters in azimuth and 0.5 meters in range. Main purpose of described ISAR system is verification of technical capabilities of the future spaceborne SAR system.
