This book was released on 2018-08-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of the SIR-B experiment was to acquire multiple-incidence-angle radar imagery of a variety of Earth's surfaces to better understand the effects of imaging geometry on radar backscatter. A complementary objective was to map extensive regions of particular interest. Under these broad objectives, many specific scientific experiments were defined by the 43 SIR-B Science Team members, including studies in the area of geology, vegetation, radar penetration, oceanography, image analysis, and calibration technique development. Approximately 20 percent of the planned digital data were collected, meeting 40 percent of the scientific objectives. This report is an overview of the SIR-B experiment and includes the science investigations, hardware design, mission scenario, mission operations, events of the actual missions, astronaut participation, data products (including auxiliary data), calibrations, and a summary of the actual coverage. Also included are several image samples. Cimino, Jo Bea and Holt, Benjamin and Richardson, Annie Jet Propulsion Laboratory NASA-CR-182923, NAS 1.26:182923, JPL-PUBL-88-2 NAS7-918...

Book excerpt: Space Shuttle Mission 41G was launched from Kennedy Space Center on 5 October 1984. Aboard the instrument pallet was the 1.28 GHz (L-band) Shuttle Imaging RAdar (SIR-B) intended to obtain SAR images for geology, agriculture, forestry, hydrology, and ocean sciences. Data were intended to be transmitted to earth via a Ku band communication link with the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS). Unfortunately, the shuttle's trainable Ku communication antenna failed to lock onto the TDRS, making high rate data transmission impossible. A real-time-revised observation program, of much smaller scale than the original plan, was substituted making use of an onboard tape recorder. The flight crew recorded radar data on the recorder and then reoriented the shuttle itself, with the Ku antenna fixed, to point to TDRS and transmit the data. The revised plan eliminated about 80 percent of the planned data swaths and shortened the remainder. A number of errors crept into the SIR-B experiments as a result of the sudden and complete reprogramming as well as a problem in latching the radar antenna. Finally, an electrical problem in the radar caused an 8-10 dB reduction in signal-to-noise ratio. (Author).
