Spaceborne radar systems
Spaceborne radar systems are advanced sensors mounted on satellites or spacecraft that use radio waves to detect and measure objects on Earth or in space. They emit radio signals that bounce off surfaces like terrain, ice, or ships, then analyze the returned signals to create detailed images and data. These systems work regardless of weather conditions or daylight, making them vital for purposes like climate monitoring, earth observation, navigation, and military surveillance. By operating from space, they provide a broad, continuous view of the planet’s surface, enabling fast, accurate, and reliable information gathering.
