Description
There are four permanently installed 1.5 m trihedral corner reflectors at DLR's site at Neustrelitz, north Germany. These targets are primarily used for long-term system monitoring of TerraSAR-X.
Targets in Target Group 
This target group contains the following 4 point targets:

- D33 (Trihedral corner reflector (1.5 m) @ D33)
- D34 (Trihedral corner reflector (1.5 m) @ D34)
- D35 (Trihedral corner reflector (1.5 m) @ D35)
- D36 (Trihedral corner reflector (1.5 m) @ D36)

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...)
