The HySpex hyperspectral sensor is an airborne imaging spectrometer developed by DLR's Earth Observation Center in Oberpfaffenhofen. Using two 'push-broom' cameras, it records data with a sub-metre ...
Polarimetric radar data acquired as part of the CROPEX25 campaign (shown here in the X-band, with a wavelength of three centimetres) allow images to be coloured-coded according to their physical ...
The Dornier Do 228-212 research aircraft (registration D-CFFU) with the F-SAR system installed. The radar system is housed in the cabin, while the antennas for the various wavelengths (X, C, S and L ...
For the CROPEX25 measurement campaign, the DLR team took radar images of the same region in different frequency bands. The Puch test region in Bavaria can be seen here in X, C, S and L bands (left to ...
The Institute of Flight Systems (FT) has been active in the topics of flight mechanics and measurement and system technology of all flying systems at the DLR site Braunschweig since 1953.
The HAP-alpha flight platform was fitted with electromechanical vibrators to identify its vibration characteristics. The image shows a side view along the wing of the aircraft.
ESA-Projektastronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski und Ax-4 Missionsspezialist mit einem Experiment auf der Internationalen Raumstation ISS. Nach 19 Tagen auf der ISS ist der polnische ...
This thesis focuses on assessing the impact of multiple-scattering effects on radar backscatter and SAR interferometric measurements, with emphasis on snow, firn, and ice media. The assessment will be ...
The HAP-alpha flight platform was fitted with electromechanical shakers to identify its vibration characteristics.
A particular challenge of the Ground Vibration Test (GVT) on the high-altitude platform – HAP-alpha – was its extremely lightweight and therefore highly flexible design. The aircraft's construction ...
