The Government of Canada recently allocated $1.012 billion to the Canadian Space Agency to support immediate and future satellite Earth observation (EO) data needs. This funding will be used to: design and develop a replacement satellite for the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM); design a next-generation satellite system to succeed the RCM. This initiative is called RADARSAT+, and it will ensure continuity of essential EO satellite data to numerous federal organizations so that they can continue delivering services to Canadians.
