CHORUS Mission Update

Abstract:
CHORUS is a next generation commercial SAR mission providing continuity for current users of RADARSAT-2, and new and enhanced capabilities to better address user needs. CHORUS is a dual-frequency mission consisting of one Cband and one trailing X-band SAR satellite. The combination of the two spacecraft introduces new capabilities not available with RADARSAT-2, including higher resolution imagery and cross-cueing. CHORUS will operate in a novel midinclination orbit, providing improved coverage between ± 62.5
