Radarsat 2 Acquisition Time

Microwave Toolbox
#1

This is what can be seen on the folder of SLC data, “RS2_OK67252_PK614800_DK545902_U13W2_20150927_012913_HH_SLC”

I am wondering whether 012913 demonstrates the time the SAR was acquired = at 1:29’ 13" am?

If not, on the metadata I didnt find the time. Any comments? Thanks

yes, this is the start time of the acquisition.

Explained here:

The product naming convention for electronic FTP delivery is as follows:

RSAT2_OrderKey_ProductKey_DeliveryKey_BeamMode_Date_Time_Polarizations_ProcessingLevel.zip

For example:
RS2_OK774_PK6404_DK334_MF23_20080328_075402_HV_SGF.zip

where:

RS2 = RADARSAT 2
OK774 = Order Key
PK6404 = Product Key
DK334 = Delivery Key
MF23 = Beam Mode
20080328 = Acquisition Date
075402 = Start Time
HV = Polarization
SGF = Processing Level
