Abstract :
“ProSmart” is the name of a remote sensing project established in the first phase of a future commercial SAR and hyperspectral scanner satellite mission. Research work in the past has shown the commercial potential of combined SAR and hyperspectral scanner data. It is the purpose of ProSmart now to identify the market needs and to develop a set of highly profitable products. The airborne experimental SAR E-SAR of DLR contributes the high resolution geocoded SAR imagery of L-band (fully polarimetric) and X-band (HH and VV)
