INSAR activities in central Asia using mobile SAR receiving station

From March 7th 1999 till July 2^nd 1999 an INSAR campaign of GFZ/DLR with a mobile receiving station was established at Kitab in Usbekistan. The mobile ground station contains three subsystems: receiving system, SAR processing system and INSAR processing system. Everyday more than 10 scenes of the received SAR raw data were processed to single look complex image data, then the corresponding interferograms from tandem pair as well as differential interferograms can be produced. Besides receiving and archiving the ERS-1/2radar data, the task of the campaign is to test a simultaneous SAR- and INSAR-Processing of the ERS1/2 data in field. The aim of the processing in field is to demonstrate and enable near-real-time SAR-Interferometry. In this paper some preliminary results of the campaign in the selected test area of Fergana-Valley and Urumqi are presented
