RODiO is an innovative mission concept selected by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) for a phase A study in the framework of the ALCOR program. RODiO consists of a cluster of 4 passive CubeSat receivers aiming to fly in a Large Baseline Bistatic (LBB) configuration with ASI PLATiNO-1 (PLT-1) Satellite. The mission objective is to serve as an in-orbit demonstrator of both the Distributed Synthetic Aperture Radar (DSAR) concept and a novel hybrid propellant rocket propulsion system for formation reconfiguration. RODiO also aims at delivering new SAR products for scientific and commercial downstream. The DSAR image resulting from the coherent combination of the stack of low performance bistatic data can be exploited to complement information from the monostatic image generated by the illuminator. The incoherent combination of these images allows for the demonstration of novel products. They are expected to actively contribute to several application ambits such as Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generation, Maritime Monitoring, and Civil Protection, Transport & Safety. Specifically, eight significant products have been identified: Radargrammetric DEM, Ship detection, Wake Analysis, Infrastructure Monitoring, Land Deformation Map, Flood Risk Map, Multi-baseline Radargrammetric DEM, and Multi-baseline Ship Velocity Map. Every product has then been characterized, leading to several observational requirements. The paper discusses the mission goals and the products identified as obtainable, focusing on the correspondent system observational requirements for their generation.

Abstract
RODiO is an innovative mission concept selected by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) for a phase A study in the framework of the ALCOR program. RODiO consists of a cluster of 4 passive CubeSat receivers aiming to fly in a Large Baseline Bistatic (LBB) configuration with ASI PLATiNO-1 (PLT-1) Satellite. The mission objective is to serve as an in-orbit demonstrator of both the Distributed Synthetic Aperture Radar (DSAR) concept and a novel hybrid propellant rocket propulsion system for formation reconfiguration. RODiO also aims at delivering new SAR products for scientific and commercial downstream. The DSAR image resulting from the coherent combination of the stack of low performance bistatic data can be exploited to complement information from the monostatic image generated by the illuminator. The incoherent combination of these images allows for the demonstration of novel products. They are expected to actively contribute to several application ambits such as Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generation, Maritime Monitoring, and Civil Protection, Transport & Safety. Specifically, eight significant products have been identified: Radargrammetric DEM, Ship detection, Wake Analysis, Infrastructure Monitoring, Land Deformation Map, Flood Risk Map, Multi-baseline Radargrammetric DEM, and Multi-baseline Ship Velocity Map. Every product has then been characterized, leading to several observational requirements. The paper discusses the mission goals and the products identified as obtainable, focusing on the correspondent system observational requirements for their generation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
