Abstract
This paper discusses large aperture, high orbit radar concepts for measuring sub-centimeter-level surface displacements from space. These measurements will enable applications such as earthquake simulation, modeling and forecasting. We explain the need for large aperture, high orbit arrays and discuss the technologies required to achieve these missions.
