Potential of RADARSAT-2 for sea ice classification

IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003
Polarimetric data acquired by the CCRS CV-580 airborne SAR are used to assess the capability of RADARSAT-2 for operational sea ice classification. The information content of the polarimetric data is illustrated by showing how specific scattering mechanisms are portrayed by the entropy, anisotropy and /spl alpha/-angle features.

RADARSAT-2 initial system operations and performance

2009 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2009
Following launch on SOYUZ in December, 2007, the RADARSAT-2 Satellite went through intensive Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP) appendage deployment and attitude configuration activities. The first SAR data, including a remarkable Quad Pole image of Greenland, was acquired on-board on Day 4 of the mission as part of an extensive system commissioning ...

Test evolution: RADARSAT-1 to RADARSAT-2

Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2005. IGARSS '05., 2005
Test methodology for large spacecraft like RADARSAT-1 and RADARSAT-2 has been modified over the last decade resulting in changes to test environments. These changes in the required test environment have necessitated improvements in the test configuration modelling, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems.

Stereo Radargrammetry With Radarsat-2 in the Canadian Arctic

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2013
A digital elevation model (DEM) is generated using a Radarsat-2 (R-2) high-resolution stereo pair acquired over challenging icefields and fjords site in the Canadian Arctic (80 $\%$ of ice-covered areas and almost 50 $\%$ of $>40^{\circ}$ slopes).

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

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

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

The RADARSAT-2/3 topographic mission

IGARSS 2001. Scanning the Present and Resolving the Future. Proceedings. IEEE 2001 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (Cat. No.01CH37217), 2002
The RADARSAT-2 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite currently under development is jointly funded by the Canadian government and MacDonald Dettwiler. RADARSAT-2 will further Canada's world-leading position in the world of synthetic aperture radar Earth observation, and provide an enormous opportunity for growth in technical expertise and ...
