Mission Planning Strategies for Antarctic InSAR and Sea Ice Monitoring with RADARSAT-1

This document outlines mission planning examples for Antarctic InSAR using RADARSAT-1 and other satellite systems. It details acquisition cycles, scene metrics, and satellite beams for effective monitoring of ice sheets and sea ice in the Antarctic and Greenland regions. Moreover, it discusses coordination techniques for optimal mission distribution, highlights the importance of high-resolution optical tools, and encourages the formation of international teams to enhance planning efficiency during key observation periods, such as the International Polar Year (IPY).
