The HySpex hyperspectral sensor is an airborne imaging spectrometer developed by DLR's Earth Observation Center in Oberpfaffenhofen. Using two 'push-broom' cameras, it records data with a sub-metre ...

During the four-month measurement campaign, two DLR research aircraft were deployed, each equipped with different instruments. The Dornier Do 228-212 (left) carried the F-SAR radar system from DLR's ...

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 ...

This radar mosaic of the Bavarian test region of Puch shows the development of vegetation from April to July 2025 at approximately two-week intervals (left to right). Each panel shows a radar image of ...

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 ...

Overview of the work areas of the overall WATERSIDE projectWilhelm-Runge-Str. 10 89081 Ulm ...

During the Ground Vibration Test, numerous sensors were used to record the dynamic properties of the platform – including acceleration sensors mounted on its electric motors.

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 ...
