Popis: In this paper an overview of the TerraSAR-X/PAZ constellation applications, where two independent X-Band SAR missions work together to provide operational services is presented. Hisdesat and Airbus Defence and Space have teamed up to establish the first steps of the WorldSAR Constellation and to bring all benefits of a true constellation to users. The combined imaging and revisit characteristics of TerraSAR-X and PAZ will foster the development of operational applications satisfying important customer requirements related to data age, update frequency, and coverage. This paper is written from the perspective of a commercial data and service provider and focuses on three selected applications directly benefiting from frequent revisit capability of constellation. These three applications are wide area ship-detection, rapid multi temporal InSAR applications including Amplitude and Coherence Change detection and Stereo Radargrammetry Ground Control Points. The aim of this study is to validate and qualify the combined usage of TerraSAR/TandDEM and PAZ data sets for joint applications.
