An ESA story about the results of the field campaign AlpTomoSAR is available here.
The airborne campaign is based on an innovative radar system using a new measurement technique for retrieving 3D information by two radar instruments in tandem. At the same time of the flights teams of ENVEO and the University of Heidelberg, Germany, were on the glaciated test site Mittelbergferner in Austria, making field measurements for evaluating the airborne based measurements. This campaign supports the development of the Saocom Companion Satellite (Saocom-CS), a joint mission of ESA and Argentina.
