Radar imaging SATellite (RISAT-1A), also known as Earth observation satellite-04 (EOS-04), is a follow-on mission of India’s first indigenously developed spaceborne C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) on-board RISAT-1 satellite. This article provides a description of the post-launch calibration and data quality evaluation of EOS-04 launched on 14 February 2022. Calibration devices (corner reflectors) of different shapes and sizes were deployed at Ahmedabad and Amrapur calibration sites in Gujarat, India from 2 to 24 April 2022, and their response in the EOS-04 data was used to assess the radiometric and polarimetric calibration. The results of the analysis showed satisfactory radiometric and polarimetric data quality. Geolocation accuracy was assessed using the ground-surveyed position of the corner reflectors and was found to be in accordance with the specified values of less than 50 m

Abstract


Radar imaging SATellite (RISAT-1A), also known as Earth observation satellite-04 (EOS-04), is a follow-on mission of India’s first indigenously developed spaceborne C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) on-board RISAT-1 satellite. This article provides a description of the post-launch calibration and data quality evaluation of EOS-04 launched on 14 February 2022. Calibration devices (corner reflectors) of different shapes and sizes were deployed at Ahmedabad and Amrapur calibration sites in Gujarat, India from 2 to 24 April 2022, and their response in the EOS-04 data was used to assess the radiometric and polarimetric calibration. The results of the analysis showed satisfactory radiometric and polarimetric data quality. Geolocation accuracy was assessed using the ground-surveyed position of the corner reflectors and was found to be in accordance with the specified values of less than 50 m
