The Face Of The EarthBonn, Germany (SPX) Aug 30, 2010 For a month now, we have been acquiring altitude models with the TanDEM-X and TerraSAR-X satellite pair. Already, over 1000 products have come out of our operational processing chain. Alongside many test images, some of the data also give an insight into how humankind has shaped the surface of the Earth - and how the highs and lows around them have determined the course of their lives. Many of the interferometric images created over the last few weeks have used test data acquired over flat areas t ... read more |

Where In The World Is EuropaMoffett Field CA (SPX) Aug 17, 2010 Instead of flying to Europa without first testing what a mission there might experience, now a number of sites on Earth - and beyond - that mimic the Jovian moon are being uncovered that could help explorers conduct trial runs. Missions to Mars such as the Mars Exploration Rovers were exhaustively field-tested in "Mars Yards" - areas whose terrain mimicked the red planet. In much the same way, researchers would like to rehearse missions to explore Europa using analogs of that moon on Earth. ... read more |
