Abstract :
The first SIR-C/X-SAR mission was flown in April 1994. Part of the acquired SAR data have been downlinked, analyzed and processed to precision images at the German Processing and Archiving Facility (PAF) at DLR. This paper summarizes the first analysis results of raw data and image quality. It is shown that already during the mission using preliminary orbit information the product quality requirements have been surpassed.
