Description

A large virtual RF aperture is established via a rotating tether affording capability leaps in space-based imaging 1-d sparse real array on a rigid tether and a tethered rotating antenna element continuously create a very large 2-d virtual array. Ultimate array size is limited only by feasibility constraints on length of rigid tether. Potential mission applications include: persistent (GEO-based) RF earth imaging (for soil moisture ocean salinity surface temp. Sea surface wind etc.) mapping coronal mass ejections (cmes) from a solar polar orbit any RF remote sensing applications requiring an extra-large aperture major tasks concept validation and performance modelling alternative approaches evaluation mission analysis for technology application
