Roadmap DLR SAAR Calibration Center
Roadmap for the DLR SAR Calibration Center. To keep up with the growing demand on SAR data product quality, the Institute has consistently developed, operated and maintained accurate reference calibration targets. The letters A to F in the figure above represent the following SAR calibration activities during the commissioning phase of the satellites: A: TerraSAR-X; B: re-calibration of TerraSAR-X; C: TanDEM-X; D: Sentinel-1A; E: Sentinel-1B; and F: Kompsat-6. The letters G to K represent the Institute’s calibration target developments for the respective SAR missions: G: BIOMASS; H: Sentinel-1C; I: Sentinel-1D; J: Tandem-L and K: HRWS. Satellite launches are indicated by triangles.
