  • Abstract
    DLR is currently studying a space borne mission based on two L-band satellites to map Earth surface deformation and vegetation structure from space. In this study the scientific requirements for deformation measurements are collected, traded off versus technical feasibility and a mission concept is investigated that provides a global monitoring capability of geo-tectonic threats.
