Abstract

In this paper the science requirements for the mapping of dynamic processes on the Earth surfaces is presented. From the science requirements and the need of a regular and continuous global surface cover for most of the applications a dedicated mission concept has been developed. The presented results are a summary of pre-phase A mission study that is performed in a bilateral cooperation between the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Tandem-L is an innovative mission proposal that will provide a unique, world-wide database for a better understanding of the Earth system dynamics in important research and societal relevant fields, as well as enabling a multitude of innovative applications.
