definition
  • The RADARSAT-2 satellite incorporates state-of-the-art technology and features the most advanced commercially available radar imagery in the world. The RADARSAT-2 program ensures the continuation of the original RADARSAT program and the development of Canada's Earth Observation business sector. RADARSAT-2 is a unique cooperation between the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and MacDonald Dettwiler. The CSA is providing approximately 75% of the funding for the development of the satellite and MacDonald Dettwiler is investing the difference. MacDonald Dettwiler will own and operate the satellite and the CSA's investment will be recovered through the supply of imagery to a number of government agencies during the mission lifetime. The design of RADARSAT-2 has been driven by the needs of the emerging Earth Observation market, to provide users around the world with high-quality data products. RADARSAT-2 will be capable of imaging at spatial resolutions ranging from 3 to 100 meters with swath widths ranging from 20 to 500 kilometres. RADARSAT-2 is also the first commercial radar satellite to offer multi-polarization capability that aids in identifying a wide variety of surface features and targets. The satellite is scheduled for launch in 2005 and has a design life of 7 years. RADARSAT-2 is a truly world-class mission and the next step in MacDonald Dettwiler's goal to being a world-leading company in the delivery of a broad range of information products and services to manage the scope of human activities on our planet.
