The evolution of the Spaceborne Imaging Radar (SIR) has lead to a multi-polarization, multifrequency synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with variable imaging geometry which will be ready for flight on the Earth Observing System (Eos) in the mid 1990's. Nominally, this SAR will be a three frequency (L-, C- and X-band) system with quadpolarization available for the L- and C-bands. It will be capable of acquiring multiincidence angle data using electronic beam steering and other imaging geometries by mechanically pitching, yawing and rolling the antenna. The Eos SAR will provide a unique new data set and will play a key role along with the other Eos instruments in understanding the Earth as a global system.
