Earth Observation

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has released the “first engineering image” from one of the RADARSAT Constellation Mission satellites.

The Canadian Space Agency has selected 10 companies to develop applications as part of the Earth Observation Application Development Program.

LAVAL, QUE. – Just three days after the launch of the RADARSAT Satellite Constellation (RCM) mission, another Canadian satellite, NEOSSat, a near Earth surveillance satellite, took a picture of a healthy RCM.

Over 30 people who worked for or with the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) came together to write the Making Government Science Work for Canada report published to coincide with the 40th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing conference.

The world’s longest running symposium series on remote sensing saw the 40th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing take place in Fredericton June 4th to 6th.

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) expects a flood of interest for satellite data in the wake of the RADARSAT Constellation (RCM) launch, which flew into space successfully Wednesday (June 12) aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that has been to space before.

This morning at 7:17 a.m. (PDT) local time in California, a SpaceX Falcon 9 launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base carrying three identical satellites for Canada’s RADARSAT Constellation Mission.

Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada is just one of 14 government departments that will use the data from the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) to benefit Canadians.

The launch of the RADARSAT Constellation Mission passed yet another milestone this past Saturday when SpaceX conducted a successful static fire test of the SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage on the launch pad.

The RADARSAT Constellation Mission is less than a week away from its scheduled launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force base in California.
