Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) is a joint U.S.-German-Italian project that uses a highly sophisticated
imaging radar to capture images of Earth that are useful to scientists
across a great range of disciplines. The instrument was flown on
two flights in 1994. One was on space shuttle Endeavour on mission
STS-59 April 9-20, 1994. The second flight was on shuttle Endeavour on
STS-68 September 30-October 11, 1994.
Space radar scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena,
California, and elsewhere continue to process and analyze images yielded
by the shuttle flights. The images are divided into nine categories for easier viewing. The most recently released images from the SIR-C/X-SAR project are below.
