Summary

Abstract: The Space Radar Laboratory-1 (SRL-1) was a payload launched with the
Space Shuttle &Endeavor& (STS-59) on April 9, 1994. The SRL-1
comprises two elements: a suite of radar instruments called the
Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar
(SIR-C/X-SAR), and the Measurement of Air Pollution from Satellite
(MAPS) instrument. The SIR-C/X-SAR radar was jointly developed by NASA
with ...
