Markus Bachmann received the Dipl.-Ing. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Technical University of Karlsruhe, Karlsruhe, Germany, in 2005 and 2015 respectively. In 2005, he joined the Microwaves and Radar Institute at the German Aerospace Center, Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany. From 2005 to 2011, he was in charge of the implementation and calibration of the TerraSAR-X /TanDEM-X antenna model. From 2006 to 2010, he assessed the potentials and methods of the DEM calibration for TanDEM-X. From 2008 to 2010, he was responsible for the planning and execution of the TanDEM-X commissioning phase. From 2011 to 2014, he performed the interferometric and radargrametric calibration of the TanDEM-X system and established the monitoring of the global coverage for the TanDEM-X mission. He is the Ground Segment Project Manager of the Tandem-L /Rose-L-Tandem project since 2016. Since 2012, he has been the Head of the Mission Engineering group, which is in charge of the operational planning of the bistatic acquisitions for TanDEM-X and for future missions like Tandem-L, Rose-L Tandem or HRWS as well as for the analysis of mission relevant aspects in the frame of various SAR missions.
