RADARSAT Program

The RADARSAT program is a Canadian initiative that employs advanced radar satellites to monitor Earth's surface. Unlike optical images, these satellites use radar technology to capture detailed images through clouds and darkness, making them reliable in various weather conditions. The data collected supports applications such as environmental monitoring, disaster management, resource exploration, and maritime surveillance. By providing regular, accurate, and high-resolution imagery, RADARSAT helps governments, scientists, and industry experts make informed decisions about our planet’s health and security.
