ESA - KaSARApp - KA-Band SAR Application Consolidation and Requirement Definition Study (2018 - 2019)

The project aims at (i) identifying key applications for a Ka-band SAR mission, with an emphasis on SPInSAR applications, (ii) deriving the corresponding mission requirements, assessing the expected L2 performance by means of an end-to-end simulation tool, to be developed within the activity, and by the analysis of available data sets, and (iii) consolidating and refining the mission and system concept, exploiting trade-off spaces identified during the study. ENVEO is subcontractor responsible for cryosphere and natural hazards.
