About this technology

Overview

Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can globally monitor dynamic processes on the Earths Surface. The last SAR to be developed and deployed by NASA was in the year 2000. This systems high costs inhibited development of new and improved designs. NASA has developed a new, state of the art, SAR system that is capable of providing capabilities beyond established systems and at a fraction of the cost.
