Satélite Argentino de Observación con Microondas (SAOCOM) is an L-band SAR program from Argentina’s space agency the Comisión Nacional de Actividades Espaciales (CONAE). The two satellites SAOCOM-1A and SAOCOM-1B were launched in October 2018 and late August 2020, respectively. Agreements with the ASI made it possible to put SAOCOM satellites on the same orbit as the CSK constellation, providing the opportunity of obtaining X-band and L-band images at a 10-minute interval. CONAE implemented a TOPSAR mode, as in Sentinel-1, for the narrow ScanSAR of 170 km and a wide ScanSAR of 350 km, as well as a stripmap mode of 40 m at 10 m resolution. Single or dual polarization HH, HH+HV, VV or VH or as well as quad polarization, are possible.
