First Results From the GeoSAR Mapping Instrument
Abstract
Geosynchronous Synthetic Aperture Radar (GeoSAR) is a consortium project consisting of The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Calgis (a small GIS company based in Fresno, CA) and the California Department of Conservation with funding provided by Defense Research Projects Agency (DARPA) started in November 1996. The two main objectives of the GeoSAR Program are: 1) To develop a state of the art dual frequency interferometric radar mapping instrument capable of mapping the true ground surface height beneath the vegetation canopy; and 2) To transition this mapping technology to a commercial company, Calgis. JPL, the technical lead, has the following program deliverables at program completion in November 1999 include radar design and radar hardware for X-band (3 cm) and P-band (83 cm) radars, processor software, hardware and documentation, and calibrated X-band radar.
