TerraSAR X

TerraSAR X was successfully launched on June 15, 2007 and is producing good data. Produced and operated by the DLR (German NASA), the sensor will have a 16m scansar mode, a 3-6m strip map mode, and a 1-2m spotlight mode. Multi-polarization capability. I have heard rumors that there will be a tandem mission permitting 2-pass interferometry. Great news for everyone who needs data quickly and is tired of looking at clouds. http://www.dlr.de/tsx/start_en.htm
