The World’s Microscope from Hundreds of Kilometres Above.
Eyes on Earth since 1995
RADARSAT-1 was Canada's first commercial Earth observation satellite. In 2007, RADARSAT-2 was launched, producing over 75,000 images per year and 1,000,000+ images to date (2022), creating an archive of imagery that provides a unique perspective and insight into the evolution of Earth. In 2019, the RADARSAT Constellation Mission was deployed, using its three-satellite configuration for all-condition coverage.

CHORUS
Building on the legendary RADARSAT program, CHORUS, a collaborative multi-sensor constellation, brings together diverse and unique imagery and data sources, changing how and when we see the world.
Key Stats
- 140,000,000 km² — The amount of the Earth’s surface we've imaged
- 2 mm — The level at which we can detect topographical changes
- 10 minutes — The time it takes us to process/analyze raw satellite data into usable information for our customers
- 500 km — The widest imaging swath on the market
- 1,000,000 - The amount of RADARSAT-2 images acquired to date (2022)
Mission Operations
We manage global missions at customer sites and in-house, drawing on decades of experience running Earth and space observation missions. If you need to know what's happening up there, we have a dependable resource down here.
World-leading imagery
With faster and more secure access to satellite imagery from a broad range of sensors, we showcase the Earth to customers worldwide.
