Abstract

The paper focuses on the recent activities carried on by MetaSensing in the airborne, ground based and space borne SAR field. Several new sensors at different frequencies (including polarimetric and interferometric SAR at P, L, C, X, Ku band) have been built and operated by MetaSensing in different campaigns, the latest performed for private partners and agencies are described. MetaSensing is also involved in an innovative space mission study for a compact SAR satellite system. In addition to develop a space borne real time SAR processor, MetaSensing is carrying on Inverse SAR acquisition over the International Space Station and bistatic airborne measurements. Finally, the principles of the new developed Fast Ground Based SAR (FastGBSAR) are also described.
