Abstract:
RADARSAT is an advanced Earth observation satellite project developed by Canada
to monitor environmental change and to support resource sustainablility.
With RADARSAT's launch on Nov. 4, 1995, Canada and the world now have
access to the first radar satellite system capable of large scale production
and timely delivery of data. These data will meet the needs of commercial,
government and
... scientific programs and will provide a new source of reliable
and cost-effective data for environmental and resource professionals
worldwide.The RADARSAT project, led by the Canadian Space Agency, builds on the
history of achievements in remote sensing and space technologies by the Canada
Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS), part of Natural Resources Canada. With its
creation in 1989, the Canadian Space Agency took over the implementation and
operation of the RADARSAT project as a key component of the Canadian space
program. CCRS continues to participate in the RADARSAT project through the
Radar Data Development Program (RDDP) and is responsible for data collection
and archiving.
