Abstract
Trajectory design for formation-based bistatic SAR missions is presented for both close (cross-track interferometry) and large (radargrammetry) formations. Trajectory design process is simplified by using analytical relative motion models that include Earth oblateness perturbations and optimize mission performance. In addition, proposed design reduces trajectory establishment and maintenance efforts. examples are briefly summarized where best relative trajectory is derived starting from application models.
