Capable of scanning the Earth at all times, day or night through any weather conditions, RADARSAT 2 has typically acquired more than 30,000 images a year since its launch in 2007. Its images are used by research centres, private industries, and Government departments and agencies across the country and around the world. The information they provide is used for a vast array of applications from helping monitor fishing activities on our coasts, increasing our agriculture’s profitability and sustainability, monitoring landslide risks along strategic transportation and energy corridors, to helping coordinate rescue teams on the ground following a natural disaster. RADARSAT 2 provides critical information about our planet.
