Newest Terrasarx Radar Technology Capable of Overcoming Mega

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - TerraSarX, the latest technology for radar mapping of the German, who is able to overcome the cloud stated, offered to tried in Indonesia over the air.

"As a reward, they offer the provision of spatial data which require various institutions in Indonesia with that system," said Coordinating Geomatika Research Surveys and Mapping Dr Ade Komara Mulyana on the sidelines Antariksa Radar Technology Seminar in Jakarta on Wednesday.

For example request spatial data bursts Sidoarjo mud, spatial data about the condition of Merapi, to the spatial data flood Jakarta early February, the spatial data or requests from IPB and other research institutions that will be provided free of charge, he said.

Indonesia has long become a place where it tested a variety of radar mapping system that was developed in the world because of its location on the equator and ketertutupan awannya so high that according to test radar that can target the cloud.

Because it's time for the mapping in Indonesia, not just become the object, but also as a subject with radar mapping and have welcomed the trial as an opportunity for Indonesia to assist in providing spatial data, he said.

Previously tried Radarsat satellite system, ers, JERS, Envisat, SRTM and system-Airborne Ifsar.

Meanwhile, Chief Operating Infoterra Nikolaus Faller said, the system with the latest radar mapping of the earth TerraSarX can be a choice in mapping geospasial in the future because in addition able to overcome the problem of cloud ketertutupan also low.

"TerraSarX able to mapping the earth without a cloud interfere with the cost of only 5 dollars per Km2," he said.

Ade acknowledged, the cost of shooting the air with Airborne, the mapping technology that is capable of overcoming cloud, reaching 40-50 dollars per Km2, while Ikonos satellite technology that is still in trouble with the cloud berbiaya 37 U.S. dollars per Km2.

Ade said, India prefers to cooperate or to rent radar, rather than have it for mapping, as the cost of investment in technology radar mapping radar and operational costs are very large and not balanced with the results obtained.

"Tubsat (micro satellites owned by the eight new launched one year ago - red) is the actual video image` live `the archipelago, but has not been translated into the mapping results," he said.
