Abstract:
RADARSAT-2 is in its tenth year of operation. The satellite continues to operate well without any degradation in image quality, supporting operational imaging with 15 Stripmap modes, 4 ScanSAR modes, and a Spotlight mode, with options for different polarization selections and both left- and right-looking satellite orientation. A description of the products available from RA-DARSAT-2 is provided in [1].
