The Snow Synthetic Aperture Radar (SnowSAR) is airborne dual-frequency, dual-polarization SAR developed by MetaSensing for the European Space Agency (ESA). It collects radar imagery of snow, ice, and other vegetation for satellite validation. SnowSAR operates across an X-band (9.6 GHz) and Ku-band (17.25 GHz) frequency. It has a swath width ranging from 200-2000 meters and has a typical spatial resolution of 1 meter by 1 meter.
