    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]

  5. Radarsat-1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RADARSAT-1

    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.
