Opis

This book was made for those who start studying or researching small SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellites. The purpose of this book is to get people who are studying and researching to acquire basic and practical knowledge about small SAR satellites first and then to proceed in the right direction as they advance further research. This book describes the design, manufacturing, testing, satellite operation, ground operation and image data processing of small SAR satellite. The small SAR satellite aimed at by this book is to reduce the burden on society and industry by providing compact, lightweight, low cost small SAR satellite. Specifically, it is to develop compact size, lightweight (100 kg class) and low cost (about 1 billion yen) small satellites as compared to existing SAR satellites (large size, large mass, high cost). And further we will work with society and industry to develop image data processing technology specialized in limited mission and aim to create a new business domain.
