Access to TerraSAR-X for scientific purposesTerraSAR-X mission goals:
provision of high resolution X-band data for scientific applicationsto develop a profitable and sustainable geo-information business based on TerraSAR-X data and products Equal share of the satellite’s capacity
Access for scientific purposes is gained via a selection processPre-launch AO (closed in October 2005)Further AO planned (End of 2007)General proposal submission interface (Summer 2007)

The TerraSAR-X satellite has passed the Final Acceptance Review after successful
• Environmental testing. (Vibration, EMC, Thermal Balancing, Thermal Vacuum, Acoustic Noise, center of gravity)
• Integrated System Tests ( Functional, Performance, Characterization)
• Final antenna phase and amplitude trimming• Space segment to Ground segment Tests
(LEOP, mission sequence, end to end )
The satellite, the secondary payload (LCT and TOR) the ground segment (MOS, PGS, IOCS)are ready for launch! Shipment to Baikonouris planned for end January.
