SAR Orbit number: 45553
6 January 2004
Description:
This Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) multitemporal colour composite image is centred over
the country of Luxembourg. Visible also are the surrounding countries, Germany to the east, France
to the south, and Belgium to the west and north. Luxembourg consists mainly of the upper basins of
the rivers Sauer and Alzette. The highest point is Buurgplaatz, in the Ardennes Plateau in the north.
The southern two-thirds of the country is a rolling plateau called the Bon Pays.
The image is made of three ERS-2 SAR PRI (Precision Radar Image) images acquired on different dates
and assigning a colour (RGB) to each date of acquisition.
