The RADARSAT Constellation: Mission Overview and Status

Abstract:
Successor to RADARSAT-1 (1995) and RADARSAT-2 (2007), the RADARSAT Constellation, launched in June 2019, is Canada’s next space borne 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 90% of any location on the globe. At time of writing, RCM is completed its first year of operations, after successful commissioning of the constellation and the ground segment.
