RADARSAT-2 Successfully Launched

MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates Ltd (MDA) announced the successful launch and deployment of RADARSAT-2, Canada's next-generation commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite. The satellite was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at ~ 05:17 Pacific Standard Time on a Soyuz launch vehicle.

In addition to guaranteeing data continuity for RADARSAT-1 users, RADARSAT-2 offers new capabilities with its advanced technical design. These new capabilities include: a finer resolution, flexibility in selection of polarization and left-and right-looking imaging. These capabilities, in concert with increased on-time imaging capacity, and an enhanced ground segment, allow MDA to offer clients an even greater degree of flexibility in choice of products and service offerings.

RADARSAT-2 is the product of a unique partnership between the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and MDA. MDA is responsible for the marketing and distribution of the data via a global network of partners and ground receiving stations.
