RADARSAT-2 mission operations status

RADARSAT-2 has now completed four years of routine phase operations. A thorough mid life review of all spacecraft subsystems has been completed. The spacecraft and ground segment continue to perform well and the operations team strives for best achievable performance. Hardware failures have been few and without user impact. This paper provides a status of the system and operations performance, describes significant changes implemented over the last year, and also provides further detail of some of the data and value-added product delivery achievements. The covered period is March 2011 to March 2012.
