As a result, the necessary procedures and tools were developed to provide fully operational order desk services to the Government of Canada (GoC) clients with regard to order handling, data acquisition planning, data archiving and web-based reporting on the client usage of the RADARSAT-2 SAR.

RADARSAT-2 RADARSAT-2 is a jointly-funded satellite mission of CSA (Canadian Space Agency) and MDA (MacDonald Dettwiler Associates Ltd. Of Richmond, BC), representing a Canadian government/industry partnership [or PPP (Public Private Partnership)] in a commercial venture. 1998, CSA awarded a contract to MDA to built RADARSAT-2. The contract calls for MDA to develop, own and operate RADARSAT-2 and related infrastructure (including data distribution). CSA provides a fixed financial contribution to MDA (about 75%), in exchange for imagery allocation from the S/C to government agencies. Terragen Classic Keygen Crack. US space policy, regulations related to the export of satellite and rocket technology as well as to the distribution of high-resolution imagery, caused CSA in January 2000 to cancel an existing satellite bus contract with OSC (Orbital Sciences Corporation) of Dulles, VA, and to award a new contract to Alenia Spazio of Rome, Italy.

RADARSAT-2 is an advanced state-of-the-art technology follow-on satellite mission of RADARSAT-1 with the objective to: • a) continue Canada's RADARSAT program and to develop an Earth Observation satellite business through a private sector-led arrangement with the federal government • b) provide data continuity to RADARSAT-1 users and to offer data for new applications tailored to market needs. • c) the key priorities of the mission respond to the challenges of: - Monitoring the environment - Managing natural resources - Performing coastal surveillance. Figure 1: Overview of the RADARSAT-2 development structure (image credit: MDA) Figure 2: Artist's rendition of the RADARSAT-2 satellite in orbit (image credit: MDA) Spacecraft: The S/C consists of a bus module, a payload module, and the ESS (Extendible Support Structure). Alenia Spazio, EMS Technologies, and AEC-Able were respectively awarded the subcontracts (from MDA) for the spacecraft bus, payload, and ESS. The SAR antenna itself is supported by ESS, which is used to deploy the antenna and to provide a rigid support in the deployed position. Note: As of 2006, the former EMS Technologies Canada Ltd. Was bought by MDA and is now referred to as MDA Satellite Subsystems.
