Observation Frequency Analysis for Multiconstellation Radar Systems over the Mediterranean Sea

Abstract

Observation frequency is analyzed over four areas of the Mediterranean basis where poaching, illegal fishing, and illegal trafficking of goods and people are active. To this end, a geometrical observation and dynamical model is utilized which accounts for multiple satellites and multiple orbital planes and is applied to SIASGE and Sentinel-1 missions. Statistics show that a few hours are needed in the mean to reobserve the same area.
