Radarsat-2 is a Canadian Earth observation satellite launched in December 2007. It uses synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology to capture high-resolution images of the Earth's surface, regardless of weather conditions or time of day. This capability makes it valuable for various applications, including monitoring natural disasters, managing resources, and studying environmental changes. The satellite orbits the Earth at an altitude of approximately 798 kilometers and can cover large areas quickly. Its data supports industries such as agriculture, forestry, and urban planning, helping to inform decision-making and improve resource management across Canada and globally.
