Atmospheric Limitations to Repeat-Track Radar Interferometry

In a recent mission, the Shuttle Imaging Radar (SIR-C) satellite devoted three days to repeat-track interferometry. The data was analyzed from a test site in the Mojave desert of California. Although good topography was obtained, most of the error was caused by turbulent water vapor in the lower atmosphere. Analysis of the effects of water vapor on multiple-track interferometry is given.

Mapping Angkor with AIRSAR/TOPSR Data

During last year's AIRSAR Pacific Rim Deployment, data were collected over Angkor in Cambodia. The temples of Angkor date the city to the 9th-13th century AD, but little is known of its prehistoric habitation.

NASA/JPL's Imaging Radar Outreach Program

In order to build a user community for future NASA imaging radar products and programs, outreach activities have been implemented by JPL. These include: education outreach, public awareness outreach, and outreach to areas of the scientific and applications community who are not traditional imaging radar users. A key component is the NASA/JPL Imaging Radar Home Page on the World Wide Web.

Earth from Sky

Soon after launch on Friday, September 30, the crew of the space shuttle Endeavour were trated to a dramatic sight. The Kliuchevskoi volcano in Kamchatka, Russia, was spewing plumes of ash 65,000 feet into the air.
