TerraSAR-X is the latest development at EADS Astrium GmbH of Synthetic Aperture Radar using an active phased array for spaceborne remote sensing. Its technical implementation is based on core technologies which have been developed and qualified in a demonstrator programme (DESA). New capabilities have been added like full polarimetry and along track interferometry via a Dual Receive Antenna. The programmatic implementation follows a Public Private Partnership (PPP) between the German Aerospace Center, DLR and EADS Astrium GmbH. EADS Astrium is investing into TerraSAR-X to build-up a data service for world wide customers through the founded Infoterra GmbH.
