DLR Acquisitions over GFOI R&D Study Sites • TerraSAR-X Acquisitions (mostly stripmap) have been made and archived since 2009 over selected GEO-FCT sites • New acquisitions over GFOI R&D Study Sites during 2014-2015: DLR ready to continue TerraSAR-X acquisitions over GFOI R&D Study sites • Agreement with commercial partner Airbus on data volumes and license conditions achieved • New proposal would be required • Limited TanDEM-X bistatic acquisitions within ongoing science phase possible on request • Research proposal to TanDEM-X Science Systemwould be required
DLR Data provision for R&D • Clearer and better conditions for TerraSAR-X data provision apply thanks to Agreement with commercial partner • data volumes/scenes limited • Data sharing among specified user group • All acquisition modespossible, according to user request • Data request procedures: Proposal to be submitted to TSX Science System
