  2. Contents Overview of KOMPSAT-5 COSI Radargrammetry of KOMPSAT-5 COSI Conclusion

  3. Overview of KOMPSAT-5 COSI • X-band • Altitude: 550km • Inclination: 97.6 deg • Dawn-dusk orbit • 06:00 am Mean Local Time of Ascending Node • 15+1/28 revolutions per day • Nodal Period: 95.78 minutes • 28D421R (28 days revisit time after 421 revolutions) • Ground speed: 6.97 km/s • Successive Orbit Distance: 2665 km (no image overlap between two successive orbits) • Distance between adjacent pass: 95 km at equator

  4. KOMPSAT-5 Orbit Elements Note some parameters may be changed due to a new launch schedule in May 2010.

  10. Radargrammetry Stereographic mapping with two SAR images taken at different incidence angles All weather, day & night, high-resolution SAR Horizontal Resolution: ~ 8x8 pixels for cross-correlation Vertical Resolution ~ incidence angles and their difference Severe topographic distortion

  12. SSR vs. OSR Incidence angles Same-Side Radargrammetry (SSR) Opposite-Side Radargrammetry (OSR) Vertical Resolution: OSR is better than SSR Severe topographic distortion: SSR is better than OSR • Opposite-Side Radargrammetry • High sensitivity to height • Severe distortion • Error in textureless area • Same-Side Radargrammetry • Moderate sensitivity to height • Moderate distortion • Error in textureless area

  19. Uniqueness of K-5 COSI for SSR

  20. Uniqueness of COSI for SSR • Radarsat-1 has been unique for SSR • Limited SSR availability of TerraSAR-X and COSMO-SkyMed unless significant satellite maneuvering • SSR will be valuable before the widespread of single-pass interferometers (e.g., TanDEM-X). • KOMPSAT-5 COSI is dedicated to SSR.

  31. Conclusions • The orbit and imaging modes of KOMPSAT-5 COSI is dedicated to radargrammetry. • At least 3 passes are available for a ground target (5: extended). • Orbit pairs of 5-3 and 3-2 are recommended for radargrammetric nominal mission • Height sensitivity of parallax: 0.6-0.9 • Height resolution: 1-2 pixels • Wider selection of pairs are theoretically provided. • Combination of ASC/DES, and L/R-looking will provide more opportunity. • Note that all calculations are true at equator. Further analysis is necessary for global configuration. • TerraSAR-X and COSMO-SkyMed data may provide tests of high-resolution examples, but not so versatile as KOMPSAT-5 COSI.
