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 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.

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 ...

Ein dunkler Ort, Nebelschwaden teilen den großen, grauen Raum in ein Oben und ein Unten. Da erhellt gleißendes ...

Swedish ESA astronaut Marcus Wandt controls various robotic systems on Earth from the ISS for the 'Surface Avatar' experiment. The researchers want to use the experiment to find out how time delays ...

The DLR Institute of Future Fuels and the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST) at the University of Tokyo have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Cologne to formalise ...
