Radar from space for precise determination of biomass on our planet
After a smooth start to the commissioning phase of the European Space Agency's (ESA) BIOMASS Earth observation satellite, the BIOMASS team at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) has now produced the first radar image—a milestone, as it is the first focused P-band SAR image ever acquired from space. The images and results were obtained as part of the ESA-funded "ESA BIOMASS In-Orbit Commissioning" program.
