10 Years of Radarsat-2 Flight Operations

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
RADARSAT-2 has now surpassed 10 years of routine Operations. The Spacecraft and the overall system continue to perform beyond their original design specifications. Payload availability and performance are maintained at such a high level thanks to the quality of the original design, careful system monitoring and continuous improvement.

The RADARSAT-2&3 topographic mission: an overview

IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003
The Canadian Space Agency and MacDonald Dettwiler are jointly conducting a study to define the mission capabilities and the operational performance of a RADARSAT-2/3 tandem interferometric mission. The primary objective of the mission is to provide a global digital elevation model of the Earth with quality comparable to the emerging US National Imaging

Moving target performance for RADARSAT-2

IGARSS 2000. IEEE 2000 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Taking the Pulse of the Planet: The Role of Remote Sensing in Managing the Environment. Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37120), 2002
The RADARSAT-2 design allows two portions of the full antenna aperture to be used independently with two separate receivers. By appropriate processing of the received echo data from the two apertures, it is possible to detect targets with non-zero radial velocities. Furthermore, the radial velocities of these targets can be estimated. Under contract to

Applications of RADARSAT-2-polarimetric data

IGARSS 2001. Scanning the Present and Resolving the Future. Proceedings. IEEE 2001 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (Cat. No.01CH37217), 2002
Expected applications improvements provided by dual- and quad-polarised data from Radarsat-2 are identified. Dual-polarised data is expected to have a wide range of applications. More detailed information is provided by quad-polarised data but here applications are limited by the narrow swath width. A specific study on sea ice monitoring is focussed on

Science and Operational Applications Research for RADARSAT-2

2011 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2011
With the launch of the RADARSAT-2 satellite, satellite Earth Observation entered a new era bringing to prominence the advantages of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors and offering new opportunities for the public sector, industry and academia (van der Sanden, 2004). RADARSAT-2, operating in C-band, is equipped with a full range of new capabilities:

Evolution of typhoon soudelor observed by RADARSAT-2 SAR

2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017
Three RADARSAT-2 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images in dual-polarization mode were acquired successively over Typhoon Soudelor in early August, 2015. In this work, the center locations of the typhoon were determined from SAR images using an automatic eye detection method.

Compressive sensing for RADARSAT-2 tomography

2015 3rd International Workshop on Compressed Sensing Theory and its Applications to Radar, Sonar and Remote Sensing (CoSeRa), 2015
Satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems can achieve vertical resolution by using multiple platform passes to create a synthetic aperture in the elevation direction. Often the distribution of the orbits is not optimal for traditional forms of tomographic processing. Due to the random nature of the orbit positions and the relatively small number
