TerraSAR-X Ground Segment, Basic Product Specification Document
Abstract
TerraSAR-X is a joint project between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the German industry (ASTRIUM). DLR owns and operates the satellite and the payload ground segment (PGS) and holds the rights for the scientific exploitation of the data. ASTRIUM holds the exclusive rights for the commercial exploitation of the data products. This document specifies the operational TerraSAR-X basic products generated at PGS for scientific and commercial use. In the context of the project the products are called basic products because they are the basis for higher level information products. The document summarizes the operation modes of TerraSAR-X and the characteristic parameters. It describes the product design criteria, lists the different product types and introduces their structure. The document in hand is supplemented by the Level 1b Product Format Specification document [RD 8] specifying the binary data formatting and the detailed annotation parameters of the product.
