ABSTRACT

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data availability has increased tremendously in recent years thanks to open data policy of large swath satellites (e.g. Sentinel-1) and many other satellites providing data commercially.  So, are we in the golden age of SAR? Or do we still have ways to go? In this talk, we will go over where we stand, and what the foreseeable future holds, with a closer look at what NASA missions will be bringing to the table.
