In this arrangement, EADS Astrium funded part of the implementation cost of the TerraSAR-X system. In 2002, EADS Astrium GmbH was awarded a contract to implement the X-band TerraSAR satellite (TerraSAR-X) on the basis of a public-private partnership agreement (PPP). The project is supported by BMBF (German Ministry of Education and Science) and managed by DLR (German Aerospace Center).
