BAE To Market German Radar Satellite Data to U.S.

摘要

BAE Systems Intelligence and Security will market data from Germany's TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X radar satellites to the U.S. government under an alliance with the satellites' owner, Airbus Defence and Space, the two companies announced May 20. The agreement extends to certain commercial and international customers, they said. Airbus' Geo-In telligence, Communication, Intelligence and Security division sells optical and radar satellite data worldwide from a constellation of spacecraft including the two radar spacecraft. A third radar satellite, the Airbus-built Paz owned by the Spanish government, will become in effect a third radar sensor in orbit when it becomes operational.
