Small satellite SAR mission definition and analysis for Taiwan

摘要: Located at the edge of Pacific Ring Fire, Taiwan is a typical island created by tectonic plate collision where continent building still active with numerous earthquake activities. With Eurasia supercontinent her west and Ocean east, in one most prevalent monsoon areas. Monsoons typhoons bring along heavy precipitation that produce great threat mud slide land mountains. In recent years, remote sensing satellites have been developed into powerful environment monitoring tool. Remote mountain areas can only rely on microwave satellite during after rain. Single SAR mission, its advantages all-weather capability, repeat pass, high spatial resolution wide swath, provide not in-time coverage disaster locations, but also monitoring, assessment resource survey. A feasible mission defined system analyzed for important targets imaging has documented key subsystems parameters derived need to be verified requirements establishment payload development.
