The TerraSAR-X satellite, developed by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and EADS Astrium GmbH, was launched on June 15, 2007 from the Baikonur cosmodrome and launched into a circular solar synchronous orbit with an altitude of 514 km with an inclination of 97,44°. The satellite is equipped with the latest synthetic aperture radar, which allows radar imaging of the earth's surface with ultra-high spatial resolution of up to 1 m, which makes the TerraSAR-X satellite system one of the most advanced tools for remote sensing of the Earth.
