SAR-Lupe was Germany's first reconnaissance satellite system of Bundeswehr used for military purposes. The program started operation in 2008. Continuous operation of the system has ceased at least since 2020; individual SAR-Lupe satellites have been decommissioned or have already burned up in the atmosphere. It is being completely replaced by the SARah system.
