Abstract
Abstract In the Autumn of 1993, the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) owned Convair 580 aircraft equipped with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) carried out a program of demonstration flights in 13 countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Far East. The purpose of these flights was to acquire multi‐disciplinary radar data to be evaluated in their own right as well as to simulate the data of the future Canadian RADARSAT. The radar imagery acquired was in support of GlobeSAR, a comprehensive global radar data acquisition program that also included extensive training and technology transfer. This paper describes the airborne SAR system and the 1993 data acquisition portion of the GlobeSAR mission.
