Performance of 2-D Deformation Measurements by the Multi-Static Harmony (Stereoid) Mission
Abstract
This paper debates the performance of the HARMONY (STEREOID) ESA EE-10 candidate mission in measuring the two-dimensional (2D) terrain deformation. Thanks to its Stereo configuration, where the two passive spacecrafts span a large along-track baseline centered on the Sentinel-1 satellite, a large observation angle diversity in azimuth can be achieved. This theoretically leads to promising deformation performance in the north-south direction component, which will play an extremely important role for the surface displacement analysis in the future
