TanDEM-X Ground Segment System Requirements Specification

Abstract

This document specifies the system requirements for the TanDEM-X Ground Segment (GS). It was pre-pared by the German Remote Sensing Data Center, the German Space Operation Center, the Micro-waves and Radar Institute and the Remote Sensing Technology Institute. The GS System Requirements Specification is structured as follows: • Section 1 (this section) defines the purpose and scope of this document. • Section 2 lists applicable and reference documents to be taken into account for the design, imple-mentation and operations of the TanDEM-X Ground Segment. • Section 3 lists all definitions and abbreviations pertaining to the TanDEM-X Ground Segment pro-ject. • Section 4 provides a short description of the mission. • Section 5 contains a compilation of system requirements specifications for each of the GS systems and the requirements on the operations organization. • Annex A enables the reader to trace the system requirements against the high level requirements, as given in [A3]. Common glossary terms and abbreviations are provided by the TerraSAR-X / TanDEM-X Glossary and Abbreviations document [R5].
