(abstract) SIR-C/X-SAR: A Multifaceted Radar
The Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR-C/X-SAR) was a joint US/German/Italian project, with flights aboard the shuttle Endeavor in April and October 1994. SIR-C/X-SAR is the first spaceborne multifrequency, multipolarization radar. The SIR-C and the X-SAR were designed to operate in conjunction with each other, collecting data over common sites. Scientists around the world are using the data in conjunction with ground measurements to conduct experiments relating to Earth's ecology, geology, hydrology, and oceanography. In addition, the data are the most comprehensive set yet available for engineering characterization of spaceborne SAR capabilities relative to various radar phenomenology and methodology. Preliminary results show changes between missions in vegetation, ice, snow, flooding, and volcano activity.
