E-SAR and F-SAR Gallery

The following picture gallery shows a selection of impressing visualizations of polarimetric SAR data taken in recent years with the two airborne SAR systems operated by DLR-HR in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.

DLR Site at Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany
The DLR site Oberpfaffenhofen is located at the special airport Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich, Germany. Beside EDMO – the airport operator, DLR and RUAG Deutschland GmbH, several other smaller companies are located here. The DLR site - which can be found to the right of the runway in the middle - is home of the two airborne SAR systems E-SAR and F-SAR.
