SSC is involved in the TanDEM-X missions in more than one way. During the launch on June 21, two SSC polar ground stations were used: the Esrange Station in Sweden at 67º 53″ North, 21º 04″ East and the Inuvik Station in Canada at 68º 30″ North, 133º 30″ West. Both these stations are members of the SSC’s global ground station network called PrioraNet. The Inuvik Station will be used through out the whole mission for TT&C and acquisition of data for TanDEM-X and its twin satellite TerraSAR-X, both owned and run by DLR. Read More
