Abstract
Three candidate Earth Explorer Core Missions have been selected for Phase-A study, namely BIOMASS, CoReH2O and PREMIER. Two of the candidates are Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) missions: BIOMASS operating in P-band and CoReH2O operating in × and Ku-band. Antenna development activities have been initiated to reduce technological risks and in support to Phase A studies. The paper describes the latest results from those activities.
