The Radar Constellation consists of three commercially available radar sensors: the German TerraSAR-X / TanDEM-X satellite formation and the Spanish PAZ satellite owned and managed by Hisdesat.
PlanetIQ was founded in 2012 by scientists and engineers who worked on COSMIC, COSMIC-2, KOMPSAT-5, TerraSAR-X, Tandem-X, and Paz missions and payloads.
Airbus’ combination of 0.5-meter spatial resolution Pleiades-1A and Pleiades-1B visible and near-infrared imagery; 1.5-meter spatial resolution Spot-6 and Spot-7 visible and near-infrared imagery; and radar data from TerraSAR-X, Tandem-X, and Paz will provide improved digital elevation retrievals at monthly intervals for large portions of the Earth.
Airbus Defence and Space performs interferometry by revisiting locations in four to seven days with TerraSAR‑X and Tandem‑X operating in a constellation with Hisdesat’s Paz satellite.
NOAA is preparing to add radio occultation soundings from Spain’s PAZ satellite, which launched in 2018, to operational forecasts.
Airbus currently has three radar satellites—TerraSAR-X, TanDEM-X, and the Spanish partner Hisdesat’s PAZ—which will be operated in a constellation.
Airbus can offer synthetic aperture radar imaging through Germany’s TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X satellites and Spain’s Paz satellite, enabling imaging through clouds and at night.
SpaceX launched two prototype Starlink satellites in February on a Falcon 9 mission that first deployed the Paz radar satellite for Spanish operator Hisdesat.
Airbus’ Paz satellite joined Airbus Defence and Space’s SAR constellation in February, reducing the constellation’s revisit time from 11 days to between four and seven days.
