Abstract
The European Remote Sensing Satellite ERS-1, launched by ESA in 1991, carries an Active Microwave Instrument (AMI). During several phases of its operations, ERS-1 has been operated in almost exact repeat orbits with periods of 3 and 35 days. The data acquired during these repeat orbits can be used to perform repeat-pass SAR interferometry, as illus trated in Figure 1. The excellence of ERS-1's orbit and attitude contr ol system and the high reliability of its SAR system result in excelle nt interferograms.
