SIR-C is a continuation of the Shuttle Imaging Radar (SIR) series of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging systems flown by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory aboard the Space Shuttle. SIR-A, flown in 1981, showed that SAR can be a useful remote sensing tool in the fields of geology, hydrology, and oceanography. SIR-B added the capability of moving the radar's antenna in 1984, showing that multiple incidence angle images add materially to the usefulness of SAR. SIR-C will add the dimensions of wavelength and polarization, providing the most powerful system ever flown for SAR scientific studies of the earth.
