RADARSAT Constellation Mission Overview and Status

Successor to RADARSAT-1 (1995) and RADARSAT-2 (2007), the RADARSAT Constellation, launched in June 2019, is Canada’s next spaceborne radar mission consisting of three identical SAR satellites flying in a constellation which provides complete coverage of Canada’s land and oceans, offering an average daily revisit, as well as a potential daily access to 95% of any location on the globe. At time of writing, commissioning of the mission is proceeding well, with a plan to move into early operations over the next weeks.
