RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM)

The RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) is a Canadian satellite program designed to monitor the Earth's surface using advanced radar technology. Launched in June 2019, it consists of three satellites that provide critical data for various applications, including environmental monitoring, disaster response, and resource management. RCM helps track changes in land use, monitor ice and oceans, and support maritime surveillance. Its continuous coverage and ability to operate in all weather conditions make it a vital tool for scientists, government agencies, and industries relying on accurate, timely information about the planet.
