NeuSAR [DSTA]
NeuSAR is a Singaporean radar earth observation satellite designed as a pathfinder for a commercial constellation.
NeuSAR is Singapore's first small commercial satellite carrying a SAR payload, which is capable of providing images in day and night and under all weather conditions.
It features a fully polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), capable of land and maritime applications, and incorporates a unique capability that detects minute changes in the scene between two passes. Designed to achieve a revisit time of less than 60 minutes for six satellites in constellation, NeuSAR is also able to provide day and night, all weather and through-cloud imaging possibilities.
