RADARSAT-2
Canada's next-generation commercial radar satellite offers powerful technical advancements that will enhance marine surveillance, ice monitoring, disaster management, environmental monitoring, resource management and mapping in Canada and around the world.
This project represents a unique collaboration between government and industry. MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (MDA) will own and operate the satellite and ground segment. The Canadian Space Agency helps fund the construction and launch of the satellite and will recover this investment through the supply of RADARSAT-2 data to the Government of Canada during the lifetime of the mission.

Thursday, April 24, 2008, marks a successful end to the Commissioning Completion Review for the RADARSAT-2 Mission Development Phase. Following this review, the system and operations team began formal routine phase operations on Friday April 25, 2008.
This is a superb achievement for the whole RADARSAT-2 Program Team, including the dedicated employees of the Canadian Space Agency and MDA Geospatial Services, as well as RADARSAT data clients in many Government of Canada Departments, and everyone else involved in the RADARSAT-2 Program.
