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.
The Shuttle Imaging Radar-C(SIR-C) is a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) designed to fly on the Space Shuttle as a payload instrument in the Shuttle Radar Laboratory (SRL).

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.

Spaceborne synthetic aperture radars (SARs) generate high resolution, wide-swath coverage maps of the surface which resemble aerial photographs.
In this paper, we review the state of the art in imaging radar polarimetry, examine current developments in sensor technology and implementation for recording polarimetric measurements, and describe techniques and areas of application for the new remote sensing data.

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.
This paper describes a micrometeroid protection system for the main engines of the Cassini Spacecraft.
