Abstract

KOMPSAT-5 that will be launched at the end of 2008 has a SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) payload. Since the Calibration and Validation of a satellite SAR is different from a passive optical camera as KOMPSAT-2 MSC and KOMPSAT-3 payload, we have started from the basis of SAR system. Firstly, the general SAR Cal/Val parameters have been gathered and defined. Secondly, we have been choosing the Cal/Val parameters suitable to KOMPSAT-5. Thirdly, the methods of SAR Cal/Val with the parameters have been studied. Fourthly, the requirement of Cal/Val devices and Cal/Val site has been studied.
