Description
The target group consists of 10 corner reflectors (four 2.5m and six 3m corner reflectors) located in Alaska. These targets are primarily used for ALOS. The alignment of the corner reflectors is changed frequently. For information concerning the alignment of the corner reflectors please contact the maintainer.

Our mission. The mission of the Synthetic Aperture Radar subgroup is to foster high-quality synthetic aperture radar data from airborne and spaceborne systems through precision calibration in radiometry, phase and geometry, and validation of higher level products. (More...)
