COSMO-SkyMed: Radar Satellite for Earth observation for dual (civil and military) use
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
COSMO-SkyMed Overview The COSMO-SkyMed system is a constellation of four radar satellites for Earth observation for dual (civil and military) use.
Description
Its purpose is to monitor the globe for the sake of emergency prevention ( management of environmental risks), strategy (defence and national security), and scientific and commercial purposes, providing data on a global scale. COSMO-SkyMed is at the forefront of global technology and uses high-resolution radar to observe the Earth day or night, regardless of weather conditions.
The three satellites needed to complete the constellation will be launched by the end of 2009. 4 satellite SAR constellation, right & left looking acquisition
