Canada will launch the three spacecraft of the Radarsat Constellation Mission in late May.
The nearly finished Canadian Radarsat Constellation Mission consists of three satellites bound for low Earth orbit on a SpaceX Falcon 9 in November 2018.
Maxar is building a three-satellite Radarsat constellation mission for the Canadian Space Agency scheduled to launch in late 2018.
Maxar Technologies’ MDA business unit operates the Radarsat 2 satellite.
Maxar may expand the Radarsat constellation under the RCM Radar Continuity program to provide additional capacity, some of which could be available for commercial use by Maxar.
Maxar is using DigitalGlobe sales channels to market radar products from MDA Corp.’s Radarsat-2 satellite.
Canada’s three-satellite Radarsat Constellation Mission (RCM) was winding down in 2018 and is due for launch in 2018 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
SecureWatch aggregates electro-optical imagery from WorldView satellites and SAR data from Radarsat-2 through a single interface.
DigitalGlobe is working with MDA to develop offerings that integrate Radarsat-2 SAR data into SecureWatch.
Radarsat-2 is a satellite launched in 2007 by MDA and the Canadian Space Agency that is equipped with a synthetic aperture radar to gather imagery in all light and weather conditions.
