TerraSAR-X

TerraSAR-X is a German Earth observation satellite that uses radar technology to capture high-resolution images of the Earth's surface, regardless of weather conditions or daylight. Launched in 2007, it helps monitor changes in landscapes, urban development, and natural disasters. By sending out microwave signals and measuring their reflection, it provides valuable data for scientific research, agriculture, forestry, urban planning, and environmental monitoring. TerraSAR-X operates in a unique imaging mode that allows for detailed analysis of terrain features, making it a crucial tool for researchers and policymakers worldwide.
