Abstract :
TerraSAR-X is Germanypsilas first national remote sensing satellite being implemented in a public-private partnership between the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and EADS Astrium GmbH. TerraSAR-X was launched on June 15th, 2007 and will supply high-quality radar data for purposes of scientific observation of the Earth for a period of at least five years. At the same time it is designed to satisfy the steadily growing demand of the private sector for remote sensing data in the commercial market (Werninghaus et al., 2007)sigma.
