FUTURE OUTLOOK
In 1981 several test areas in Europa have been flown with a SAR 580. This
imagery (like that of the Seasat radar) has not yet been generated from
digital data. We expect to have the first sample images one year after
the flights have taken place.
With this imagery further testing will be carried out. Additional tests
are required about height determination.
It will be most interesting to compare the results contained in this pa
per with the data from real imagery provided by the RMK Spacelab-1
mission in 1983 and by SPOT in 1984.
