Abstract
Various embodiments of the present technology relate to synthetic aperture radar image capturing and scene reconstruction using a cluster of multi-static satellite receivers. More specifically, in some embodiments, the cluster of receivers retrieves a flight path over a communication network. Flying in-formation, a lead or main satellite sends radio or wave pulses to a target area and additional satellites capture an echo of the wave pulses after the waves bounce off the target area to capture SAR radar data. The radar data can be transmitted from the cluster of satellites to a radar stations or to the main satellite. The radar stations or the main satellite receive the SAR radar data and mapping to reconstruct the data as SAR image data that can be reconstructed as 2D or 3D landscapes and scenes using the SAR image data.
