Abstract
L-band differential interferometric SAR satellite constellation, which is also named as Lu Tan-1, has finished its in-orbit test task at the beginning of 2023. The pre-defined parameters of satellite project have been all fulfilled. This is for the first time, Chinese SAR satellites conduct both the civil surveying and mapping task using InSAR at 1:50,000 measurement scale, and operational deformation monitoring with DInSAR accuracy better than 5 cm. In this paper, we show the first application demonstrations including digital orthophoto map, digital elevation model, as well as the deformation products.
