Abstract

Companion SAR missions offer a cost-effective solution to enhance the added value of existing SAR satellites. In particular, they offer new possibilities to extend the observation space and provide one or several single-pass interferometric channels for the acquisitions. The paper aims to provide a description of an end-to-end performance simulation for companion SAR missions, including the evaluation of two exemplary configurations under realistic conditions and with the incorporation of the major error sources affecting these systems. A critical discussion of the results will be included of the final version of the paper drawing from the analysis relevant conclusions for the design of payload and concepts for future companion SAR missions.
