"Introduction of Lotusat (x Band Sar) and Potential Application of Sar Data in Viet Nam"

LOTUSat satellite - the first SAR satellite of Vietnam is expected to be launched into orbit in 2023. This satellite will acquire SAR image at X band with high resolution, up to 1m. SAR imagery is particularly potential in applications in Vietnam, where cloud cover is frequent. In order to improve the effectiveness of LOTUSat satellite data, studies on SAR images in fields such as: oil spill monitoring, flood monitoring, deforestation monitoring have been conducted in recent year in Viet Nam. These studies show a great potential application of SAR data in Vietnam.
