TerraSAR-X Archive

TerraSAR-X Archive

TerraSAR-X reliably provides high-resolution SAR imagery with a resolution of up to 0.25m independent of weather conditions and illumination. The products also feature a very high geometric and radiometric accuracy as well as a global mean revisit time of 2.5 days.

Product Description 

TerraSAR-X reliably acquires high-resolution and wide-area radar images, from 0.25m to 40m resolution, independent of the weather conditions. The satellite features a unique geometric accuracy that is unmatched by any other commercial spaceborne sensor. TerraSAR-X is specifically optimised to meet the requirements of commercial users around the globe who require readily available, high-quality and precise Earth observation data. The archive dates back to 2008 in some areas.

TerraSAR-X is a leading satellite for geospatial intelligence, for defense and change detection in sensitive areas. From SAR data, very high resolution digital elevation models can be built from stereo SAR imagery, generating the very highest resolution elevation information available. Analysis of SAR imagery can also reveal displacements in the earth's surface, such as after a geological event. And because of how SAR imagery reflects on water, it makes an excellent choice for maritime monitoring and analysis, from ship tracking to oil spill identification.

TerraSAR-X benefits:

  • Flexible coverage and resolution: high resolution for specific target areas, medium resolution for large area coverage
  • Excellent geometric and radiometric accuracy
  • Comprehensive network of ground stations and Direct Access Services ensure data delivery in near real time
