Team Objectives

Airbus will help CSTARS to acquire TerraSAR-X images with high priority and provide latest algorithms for SAR interferometry and radargrammetry.

Capella Space will work with UMass-MIRSL to acquire Capella SAR images and to develop products similar to the ones obtained from Airbus.

NGIA will help obtain high-resolution optical images to apply surface characterization algorithms.

CSTARS will use multiple SAR satellites to acquire images of hurricanes of interest.
