Amazing satellites

ALOS is Advanced L-band Observatory Satellite launched by Japanese agency (JAXA). A SAR on board this satellite works in all-weather, day and night give us great opportunity to study geophyiscal surface signal.






















ERS-1 and ERS-2 they are SAR satellites launched by European Space Agency. These two satellite orbits the earth consecutively and provide interferograms within a short repeat time, greatly reduce the possibility for temporal-decorrelation.










This is SRTM, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission. Instead of being carried by satellite, antenna is installed on space shuttle to form interferometry. I feel it's amazing and wonderful.
