The SArah-2 and 3 space radars can provide high-resolution images regardless of the time of day or cloud cover.

American SpaceX has launched two radar reconnaissance satellites into orbit for the German military as part of the SARah-2 mission. The company announced this on the X network (Twitter) on Sunday, December 24.

The Falcon 9 launch vehicle took off from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, and half an hour later the company confirmed the launch of the same satellite into low-Earth orbit.

SARah (Synthetic Aperture Council) is a military space reconnaissance system of the Bundeswehr, which, considering the current launch, will consist of three radar satellites capable of receiving images with a resolution of 35-40 cm. The service life of the devices is designed for 10 years.

The SArah-1 satellite was launched into orbit in June 2022. The SARah-2 and 3 space radars are equipped with a passive parabolic antenna. All of them can provide high resolution images regardless of the time of day or cloud.

The constellation will replace the five old German reconnaissance satellites of the SAR-Lupe network, which have been operating in orbit since 2006. They provide an image resolution of about one meter.

It was previously reported that SpaceX will launch the X-37B unmanned spaceplane for the first time in the interest of the US Space Force.
