Space, as with land, sea, and air, is now a well-established operating environment for radars. As in other environments, radars operating in space assume a wide variety of forms and span a wide range of applications. This chapter will focus on satellite-borne synthetic aperture radars (SARs) for remote sensing applications. This is an important and growing field with numerous applications in the areas of oceanography; land use; seismology; volcanology; disaster assessment; and the monitoring of sea ice, maritime economic zones, environmental conditions, etc.
