摘要
In addition to the first satellite TSX already in-flight since 2007 [1], the second satellite TDX of the TanDEM-X system could be successfully launched in 2010 [2]. The primary object of the TanDEM-X mission is to generate a highly accurate digital elevation model (DEM) with never achieved accuracy on global scale. But in addition to this DEM acquisition based on a bistatic satellite constellation, nominal TerraSAR-X operation shall be available anymore, i.e. the bistatic TanDEM-X mission and the monostatic TerraSAR-X mission have to be operated in parallel with both satellites. Consequently the second satellite TDX had to achieve the same accuracy and performance as those of the first satellite TSX. Based on a short overview of the different calibration procedures the paper discusses the calibration results achieved for the whole TanDEM-X system, successfully in-flight since June 2010.
