# INSAR Corporation

> Satellite ground-deformation monitoring for mining, energy, and infrastructure worldwide. INSAR Corporation measures millimetre-scale ground movement from satellite radar (InSAR) and delivers deformation-rate maps, displacement time series, and interpretive reports for operational safety, asset integrity, and regulatory compliance. Founded and led by Dr. Sergey Samsonov, inventor of the MSBAS multidimensional InSAR method.

INSAR Corporation is a specialist consultancy at insarcorp.com providing end-to-end satellite InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) deformation monitoring. Unlike single-track InSAR, the proprietary MSBAS method combines ascending and descending satellite tracks to resolve vertical and horizontal (east-west, north-south) displacement components, producing true 2D and 3D deformation time series that are directly comparable with GNSS and field measurements. Data sources include Sentinel-1, TerraSAR-X, and ALOS-2/PALSAR, with multi-decade historical baselines from archived ERS and Envisat imagery. Work is delivered through rigorous automated workflows under strict confidentiality, backed by peer-reviewed methodology and independent validation. Pages are available in nine languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Chinese, Russian, Indonesian, Arabic); the English pages are listed below.
