What is Synthetic Aperture Radar?

High-Level Project Summary

Our task was to explain SAR to people who do not know about SAR technology and to convey it in a very simple language. Our solution was to prepare a video of about 3 minutes to explain SAR to people and in this video we helped people to understand the subject by using useful videos and images. The main reason we chose this mission is because people are not familiar with SAR technology and SAR is so important to our world and our future.

Detailed Project Description

 we prepared an educational video about SAR (synthetic aperture radar) technology. In this video, we show you what SAR technology is and how it works, and how it differs from other radar systems. where and for what purpose. We talked about why it was so important. We mentioned that the Senteki aperture radar system is a technology that can provide solutions to many problems for today and tomorrow. We wish you a good time watching our video, which explains this technology in a way that will be understood by those who will hear it for the first time. 

Space Agency Data

While preparing our video, we have supported our project with the data and images we obtained from ESA, the video and simulations of NASA's SAR technology, based on the data of the NISAR project, a joint project of NASA and ISRO.



The biggest factor that inspired us in this project is that SAR technology is not well known by people and this technology has a very important role for the future of humanity.

Hackathon Journey

Spaceapps marathon gave us a lot, first of all, we learned how to reach a source and use that source correctly, at the same time, we learned to transfer the data obtained from these information sources to other people, besides, we learned a lot about the process of shooting and editing videos that we have never experienced.


The biggest factor in choosing this challenge was our desire to transfer this unknown technology to other people.


space apps, which gave us an incredible experience, made us want to participate in the competition every year in an improved way.
