Abstract

The European Space Agency's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity satellite comprises a single payload instrument known as the Microwave Interferometric Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) coupled to a PROTEUS platform. MIRAS synthesizes a large aperture from a reasonably sized 2-D array of passive microwave radiometers. By using interferometric techniques, the required coverage and spatial resolution can be achieved without the need for a large antenna. This paper describes the MIRAS instrument, its observation modes, the imaging geometry, and data products.
