On April 30, 2021 there will be a webinar dedicated to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) capabilities that WGIC member e-GEOS can deploy using COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation and a combination of SAR data from both COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation and SAOCOM, the Argentinean SAR Constellation.
The COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation constellation, fully operational since last January, represents the new Polar Star of the radar satellites. The follow-up system of the original COSMO-SkyMed constellation, owned by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and the Italian Ministry of Defence, guarantees a significant improvement to the first generation in terms of performance, image quality, interoperability, efficiency of services.
The webinar is partly dedicated to the best combination of SAR data from two systems: COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation and SAOCOM, the Argentinean SAR Constellation. The Argentine Satellite SAOCOM was developed and built by CONAE, with the participation of VENG and INVAP companies and national organizations such as CNEA.
