RADARSAT-2 Imagery
SUNDARBEN NATIONAL PARK, BD
MDA's RADARSAT-2 is the world’s most capable commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite. With a multitude of imaging modes including different resolutions, swaths, and polarizations, RADARSAT-2 offers rapid access to all-weather imagery for a wide range of applications including: •
Maritime surveillance
•
Environmental monitoring
•
Disaster response
•
Agricultural monitoring
•
Elevation modeling and mapping
•
Monitoring the ground for subsidence and movement
•
Change detection
RADARSAT-2 Wide mode enables effective environmental monitoring with 150km swath width. SAGA, JAPAN
With the ability to see through clouds and to image consistently regardless of weather and lighting conditions, RADARSAT-2 is the imagery source of choice for users who require reliable repeat imaging on a timely basis. Multi-Look Fine mode imagery enables mapping of urban areas, farms, coastline, and mountains.
