The Airbus Defence and Space site Potsdam is engaged in the analysis of remote sensing data for earth observation and the development of products based on this data. An emphasis lies on the enhancement of products from the radar satellite mission TanDEM-X which aims to create a global, high-resolution Digital Elevation Modell (DEM) and derivatives which can be used for applications such as aerial navigation and mapping.
The internship will contribute to the development of a global water surface layer derived from the TanDEM-X data.
