Distributed Space Missions for Earth System Monitoring

Part of the book series: Space Technology Library ((SPTL,volume 31))

Abstract

SABRINA mission was conceived as a dual satellite mission based on COSMO/SkyMed constellation to perform and exploit bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar in both interferometric and large baseline modes. Analysis of identified application and techniques are presented along with the relative trajectory selection, pointing strategies and safety.
