NASA and West Germany signed a cooperative Earth observation agreement. Under the agreement, West Germany, together with Italy, was to provide an X-band synthetic aperture radar (X-S) to fly with the space-borne imaging radar-c (SIR-C) on the Space Shuttle. The SIR-C will allow the Shuttle-borne imaging radar mission to view a site from different angles and at different radar frequencies. An advanced X-SAR was expected to combine later with the NASA Earth Observation System to fly on a NASA polar platform, providing a third frequency to the combined mission. (NASA Release 87-149)
