The Earth Observing System Synthetic Aperture Radar (EOS SAR) missionThe EOS SAR mission under consideration as one element of the mission to planet earth, which will provide a long duration radar observing system with multipolarization and multifrequency capability, is presented. The payload consists of three synthetic aperture radar systems; a C-band radar with dual polarization, an L-band radar with quadruple polarization, and an X-band radar with dual polarization. Each radar system will be of the phased-array type, will have variable resolutions and swath widths and will be capable of steering the beam electronically in elevation.
