Radar satellites can see at night and through clouds They also can detect millimetre changes in some cases, from space (!) But I've found them really counter-intuitive, so I spent the last 6 months working on a video explaining how they work Watch:

There are a lot of people I need to thank for this, this was probably the biggest thing I've made so far - @DarrenMuff for sharing the excitement and answering my dumb questions - @umbraspace for their open data program, meaning 80% of all the images in the video are from them - Thomas Ager for writing what I think is the best book on SAR out there, having a long conversation with me, and proof-reading my script - @boxMica for making such cool SAR renders, and letting me use them in this video - Jason Wang for helping me actually make this, and being a great supporter behind the scenes - @ICEYEfi where I learned a bunch of what I know now and having so many cool animations!

This is really informative!

Are the animations in After Effects?

A mix of AE, Blender & Resolve

@umbraspace Great overview and video. I need to learn your video skills, yet unless ai can do it I can’t seem to find that time yet.

@umbraspace Thanks Nathan! It's like many things: repetition and putting a ton of hours into it :)

I knew it …

Question regarding the virtual 100 km virtual antenna: assuming the microwave travels with light speed, the send-receive delay time should be about 3 ms, so not enough time for the satellite to change position. Probably the send-direction is continuously updated?

That's a good question, I'm not quite sure My hunch would be that you need to take that into account to get to higher resolution & better signal to noise ratio I'd defer to some of the folks who actually work on this, thinking of @DarrenMuff or @MasterActual ?
