abstract:
| The first German space mission TerraSAR-X was launched on June 15th, 2007. The mission was implemented under a Public Private Partnership (PPP), including the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) as well as EADS Astrium as cooperation partners. In this consortium, DLR is responsible for the scientific use of TerraSAR-X data, while commercial marketing is undertaken exclusively by Infoterra GmbH, a wholly-owned EADS Astrium subsidiary, within the commercial TerraSAR-X service segement (TSXX). With respect to the scientific use of TerraSAR-X data the Institute of Digital Image Processing of Joanneum Research (JR-DIB) has gained a principal investigator status with respect to the assessment of the mapping potential of TerraSAR-X data using radargrammetric as well as interferometric techniques. With respect to TSXX the Institute has developed value adding processing lines in cooperation with Infoterra in order to generate and provide value-added products, like for instance ortho-rectified products or TerraSAR-X image mosaics. |
