Abstract
This paper introduces a SAR mission concept uniquely designed for sub-daily interferometric-compatible revisits, essential for the timely monitoring of ecosystem water status in regions of significant scientific, ecological, societal, and economic value. The key concept is based on the strategic deployment of a constellation of several small satellites in short-revisit low-Earth orbits, equipped with low complexity SAR payloads to enhance efficiency and minimize overall costs. In particular, L-band SARs with decametric spatial resolution and sub-daily revisit will be considered. The paper provides an overview of the mission requirements, technical concept, scientific relevance, and acquisition potential. The analysis is based on a study conducted in the frame of an ESA Earth Explorer 12 mission proposal titled "SLAINTE" [1]
