Our country is vast,
with very different challenges
from coast to coast to coast.
With the help of satellite technology,
the Canadian Space Agency provides solutions
to some of those challenges.
The RADARSAT Constellation Mission
uses a trio of satellites
to take daily scans
of our country and its waters.
Equipped with radar
and ship identification systems,
they collect invaluable information
about our country.
Satellites assist
in determining ice conditions,
helping captains navigate
through Arctic waters
and bring supplies to remote villages,
and helping northern communities
travel safely over ice
during hunting and fishing expeditions.
Satellites monitor soil stability
and changes in the permafrost,
and gather important data that contributes
to understanding climate change
so we can better protect
our environment and our wildlife.
To maximize crop yields,
farmers use satellite data
to measure moisture levels in soil,
reducing how much water,
pesticide and fertilizer they use
in order to protect and improve
the environment for years to come.
And when disasters strike
and people are in danger,
satellite images
help rescue teams respond faster,
saving lives and reducing the impact
on people and infrastructure.
The RADARSAT Constellation satellites
work together to bring solutions
to important challenges
that affect all Canadians.
