Road to small SAR satellite design

I made this book for those studying or starting research on the small SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellites. The purpose of publishing this book is that people conducting research acquire basic and practical knowledge about the small SAR satellites first and furthermore this book leads you to proceed in the correct direction when you research it in detail. This book shows the design manufacturing testing satellite operation ground operation and image data processing of small SAR satellite. The small SAR satellite aimed at by this book is to reduce the burden on society and industry by providing compact lightweight low-cost small SAR satellite. Specifically it is to develop compact size lightweight (100 kg class) and low cost (about 1 billion yen) small satellites as compared to existing SAR satellites (large size large mass high price). And further we will work with society and industry to develop image data processing technology specialized in limited mission and aim to create a new business domain.
