And, NISAR Earth observation mission looks very exciting as well: http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=32478.msg1237077#msg1237077 http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=32478.msg12...
- mturmon 12y agoNISAR is a very interesting mission from a technological point of view. It will have two radars, at least one of which gives 10m resolution, and they will be obtaining global coverage. The data rate is huge, larger than any Earth remote sensing mission to date (many TB/day). Earth scientists are already having problems dealing with contemporary data volumes, and NISAR really raises the stakes.
