Formation flying for a picture of precision

The TanDEM-X (TerraSAR-X Add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement) mission will create a global Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with unprecedented accuracy. TanDEM-X is a companion satellite to the existing and highly successful TerraSAR-X satellite and, with the two satellites flying in a tandem formation, data from each radar system will be used to build up the Digital Elevation Model.
