More thoughts on the complementary nature of SAR imagery to e/o imagery

I earlier mused how I thought there should be some kind of "orthogonality" argument, in a mathematical sense, about why SAR imagery complements electro-optical (e/o) imagery - i.e., why SAR imagery is a unique complement vice being just linearly additive.

E/o imagery is based on collection of light - either reflected or transmitted in the form of heat.  SAR imagery is based on the collection of radio frequency (RF) signals - basically time of flight (time to receive return signal) and phase characteristics of the returned signal.  Light is characterized as photons, RF energy as waves.  While both electromagnetic phenomena come from the same underlying basis of physics, it seems those 2 descriptions should make for some kind of uniqueness, or orthogonality.

MUOS-4 is getting ready to launch

So the constellation will finally be built-out

Posed a question about SAR imagery

Just getting started !
