It implements the SAR Extension v1.0.0 specification, allowing you to describe Synthetic-Aperture Radar imagery with structured fields for instrument mode, frequency band, polarizations, product type, and observation direction. The package builds on pystac-core and provides validation and helper methods to work with SAR data in STAC catalogs.\n\nThis is a specialized extension for projects that catalog or process radar imagery. It's most useful when you're building STAC-based systems that need to organize, search, or analyze SAR data alongside other geospatial information. The package is production-stable, actively maintained, and supports modern Python versions.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is production-stable, actively maintained (release 4 days old), has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. Install it if you are working with SAR data in a PySTAC-based system and need standardized metadata fields for radar imagery. Skip it if you don't use SAR data or don't work with STAC catalogs."},"id":"pystac-ext-sar","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-sar","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-sar.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pystac-ext-sar/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pystac-ext-sar","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"SAR extension for PySTAC"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3981755,"position":2420,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.1"}
