PAZ SAR System Validation Plan

For PAZ Mission acceptance, a plan is implemented in order to validate the PAZ SAR System. The plan includes characterization, calibration and validation tasks carried out by INTA. Two different stages are considered prelaunch and in-flight. Pre-launch plan is focused on antenna model validation, instrument characterization and performance assessment. Goals are a complete PAZ operation definition and a basic product definition to achieve the E2E preliminary acceptance. In-flight stage shall validate pre-launch results and define a systematic calibration scheme to assure the delivery of a complete calibrated system with a validated basic product tree.
