  1. Conception of a global SAR mission for land imaging on the tropics Gilberto Câmara Director General NationalInstitute for SpaceResearch (INPE) Brazil

  2. Motivation: Brazilian National Plan for Climate Change How can Brazil achieve its deforestation targets?

  3. INPE has international credibility “Today, Brazil’s monitoring system is the envy of the world. INPE has its own remote sensing satellite, a joint effort with China, that allows it to publish yearly totals of deforested land that scientists regard as reliable.” TerraAmazon

  4. INPE´s results have worldwide impact

  5. Society is watching!

  6. Other countries want to help Until 2015, Norway will give up to US$ 1 billion to reduce deforestation in the Amazon. Norway’s contribution will depend on how successful Brazil will be in reducing deforestation. Brazil has the largest rain forest and one of the world’s most advanced systems for surveillance of deforestation.

  7. Challenge: Cloud cover in the tropics • Most tropical areas have > 50% cloud cover yearly • (source: International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project)

  8. Challenge: Cloud cover in Amazonia • São Félix do Xingu, Brazil, cloudcoveredfromOctober to May

  15. Motivation for L-band SAR: Amazonia PETROBRAS Solimões Terminal, Coari [LHH(R) + LVV (G)+LHV(B)] Images from R99B airborne SAR (SIVAM) in 2005 Campaign chief scientist (INPE): Waldir Paradella Researcher: F. P. Miranda (PETROBRAS)

  16. Motivation for L-band SAR: Amazonia Tapajós National Forest [ 10 m res, LHH(R) + LVV (G) + LHV (B)] Images from R99B airborne SAR (SIVAM) in 2005 Campaign chief scientist (INPE): Waldir Paradella INPE researchers: C. Freitas, J. R. Santos, L.V. Dutra, C. Mura

  17. Motivation for L-band SAR: Coastal regions Bragança, Pará [10 m res, LHH(R) LVV(G) LHV(B)] Images from R99B airborne SAR (SIVAM) in 2005 Campaign chief scientist (INPE): Waldir Paradella Researchers: P. W. Souza (UFPA), M. T. Prost (MPEG)

  18. Motivation for L-band SAR: Agriculture L.E. Magalhães, Bahia [ 10 m resul, LHH(R)+LVV(G)+LHV(B)] Images from R99B airborne SAR (SIVAM) in 2005 Campaign chief scientist (INPE): Waldir Paradella INPE researchers: B. Rudorff, A.R. Formaggio

  19. Industrial motivation: Brazilian OrbiSAR-1 SYSTEM X-band SAR-Image 3x3m Campinas, Brazil)

  20. Industrial motivation: Brazilian OrbiSAR-1 SYSTEM P-band SAR-Image 3x3m, Sorocaba, Brazil (10/2002)

  21. Industrial motivation: Brazilian OrbiSAR-1 SYSTEM X-band SAR-Image 3x3m, Campinas, Brazil

  22. LANDSAR (SAR for world´s tropics) Sun-Synchronous Dawn-Dusk Orbit; Full Power on descending and ascending; Double-sided access by roll maneuver; 5-day full world coverage at 30m; 25-day full world coverage at 10m; 1-day spot at 5m;

  23. LANDSAR (SAR for world´s tropics) Positioning Control: 100m Positioning Determination: 30cm near real time. Attitude : Control - 0.1º in roll, pitch and yaw Determination - 0.05º in roll, pitch and yaw Timing Accuracy: 50us.

  24. LANDSAR Modes (initial proposal) ScanSAR TOPSAR • ScanSAR/TOPSAR: • Number of range looks of detected products: 4 • Total ground range swath at the equator: 560km • Resolution: 30 m x 30 m • Global coverage time at the equator: 5 days • Polarization: HH+HV

  25. LANDSAR Modes (initial proposal) Stripmap Number of range looks of detected products: 8 Total ground range swath at the equator: 115km Resolution: 14 m x 14 m Coverage time at the equator: 25 days Polarization: HH+HV Spotlight • Number of range looks of detected products: 2 • Total ground range swath at the equator: 50km • Resolution: 5 m x 5 m • Time for Surveying: 1 day • Polarization: HH+HV

  26. LANDSAR Polarization + InSAR Interferometric SAR Polarization HH + HV

  27. LANDSAR Operational Capabilities:Amazonia in 5 days with 30 m resolution

  28. LANDSAR Operational Capabilities:Amazonia in 25 days with 10 m resolution

  29. Comparison: wide swath in 2014
