The SIR-C/X-SAR mission

Abstract

The Shuttle Imaging Radar-C and X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) is a cooperative experiment between NASA, the German space agency (DARA), and the Italian space agency (ASI). The experiment is the next evolutionary step in NASA's Spaceborne imaging radar (SIR) program that began with the Seasat SAR in 1978, and continued with SIR-A in 1981 and SIR-B in 1984. The program will eventually lead to the Earth Observing System (EOS) SAR later in this decade. The latest status of this land surface remote sensing mission is described.
