DAVID PUGLIESE Canada's RADARSAT Constellation Mission was launched successfully into space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket this morning from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The constellation of three satellites will provide daily images of Canada's territory and maritime approaches, as well as images of the Arctic, up to four times a day, according to the Canadian Space Agency. It will have daily access to 90 per cent of the world's surface. The RCM is also equipped with an Automatic Identification System (AIS), allowing improved detection and tracking of ships, including those conducting illegal fishing, the CSA noted. The constellation will orbit Earth at an altitude of 600 km. Each of the satellites has a life expectancy of 7 years. The Canadian government owns and will operate the satellites. The three spacecraft were assembled in the Montreal area by the prime contractor MDA. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/radarsat-constellation-to-track-ships-provide-surveillance-over-arctic-and-other-regions
