Abstract(in English) This paper introduces the conceptual design of a real-time Interferometry SAR mission with formation flying satellites, which is almost impossible in the conventional way. 6SAR satellites forming in a circle at altitude of 577km can achieve real-time INSAR earth observation. Ordinarily the satellites keep circular formation and make Digital Elevation Map (DEM). But once a disaster happens anywhere on the earth, the satellites will change their orbit into the regression one and observe it in high frequency or highresolution mode. The result of the conceptual design and the necessary theory confirms the feasibility of this mission in terms of technique and cost.
