RADARSAT-1

RADARSAT-1 is a Canadian Earth observation satellite launched in 1995. It uses radar technology to capture detailed images of the Earth's surface, regardless of weather conditions or daylight. This capability allows scientists and researchers to monitor various environmental changes, such as deforestation, ice movement, and urban development. It plays a crucial role in disaster management, agriculture, and resource monitoring. RADARSAT-1 marked the beginning of Canada’s RADARSAT program, contributing significantly to global understanding of the Earth’s changing environment through reliable and continuous data collection.
