The project of high-resolution synthetic aperture radar system designed for a small satellite
is proposed. It is intended for expeditious producing of detailed radar images of
natural and artificial origin objects. The offered radar system has space resolution of 3
meters and four non-coherent accumulations (looks). The system key feature is, that
images synthesis and their normalization are carried out immediately on the satellite.
The obtained radar image is exposed to compression. These operations reduce volume of
data, transmitted on the ground by tens time. For a data acquisition the antenna of 1-m
diameter could be used.
