RADARSAT 1000m resolution map of Canada. RADARSAT is a Canadian remote sensing Earth observation satellite program overseen by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The program has consisted of: RADARSAT-1 (1995–2013) RADARSAT-2 (2007–) [1] RADARSAT Constellation (2019-)
The RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) is a three-spacecraft fleet of Earth observation satellites operated by the Canadian Space Agency.The RCM's goal is to provide data for climate research and commercial applications including oil exploration, fishing, shipping, etc. [3] With satellites smaller than RADARSAT-2, [4] the RCM will provide new applications—made possible through the ...
RADARSAT-2 is a Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Earth observation satellite. It launched on 14 December 2007 aboard a Starsem Soyuz-FG rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan. [1] The spacecraft is owned by MDA (formerly MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates.) [2]
RADARSAT-1 was a right-looking satellite, [1] meaning that the microwave beam transmits and receives on the right side of the satellite, relative to its orbital path. As it descends in its orbit from the North Pole , it faces west, and when it ascends from the South Pole , it faces east.
ORS-2. Space-based radar or spaceborne radar is a radar operating in outer space; orbiting radar is a radar in orbit and Earth orbiting radar is a radar in geocentric orbit.A number of Earth-observing satellites, such as RADARSAT, have employed synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to obtain terrain and land-cover information about the Earth.
Polar Epsilon is a Canadian Forces project to provide enhanced all-weather day and night surveillance capabilities utilizing imagery from the RADARSAT-2 earth observation satellite. [1] The project includes two new ground stations, one at each coast.
