2007-06—15,德国雷达遥感卫星TerraSAR-X在俄罗斯位于Kazachstan的Baikonur发射中心发射成功。4d后,第一批雷达数据成功传回到位于德国Neustrelitz的德国遥感数据中心(DFD)。发射后8周,卫星系统已经完全正常运行,并传回了超过2500幅雷达图像。第一批影像产品已经由DLR遥感信息处理研究所(IMF)制作完成。
The German radar satellite TerraSAR-X was launched from the Russian cosmodrome in Baikonur, Kazachstan on June 15, 2007. The four days after the launch, the German Remote Sensing Data Center DFD in Neustrelitz was first recorded data from the satellite. Shortly thereafter, the data was transformed into initial images. Eight weeks after the launch, the German radar satellite worked properly. There were already over 2500 data sets available with which we could continue to analyze the instrument and ground infrastructure.
