  1. CSA Report on Earth Observation Presented at 27th CEOS WGCV Meeting National Physical Laboratory, UK June 12 – 15, 2007 Dr. Satish Srivastava CSA Member of WGCV Canadian Space Agency

  2. RADARSAT-1 Program Status (1) • Completed successfully 5.25 years of design life in early 2001, presently in twelfth year of operation • Data received and processed at 35 ground stations with 22 archive facilities globally • As of 30 April 2007, completed 59,957 orbits, planned 274,534 user requests corresponding to a total acquisition of 426,688 minutes of SAR data • Average system performance maintained better than 95%

  3. RADARSAT-1 Program Status (2) • As a member of International Charter Space and Major Disasters, provided RADARSAT-1 data for 107 Charter emergencies to date • Image quality and calibration maintained better than system specification • Multiple coverage campaigns completed under baseline Background Mission, including: multi-season ScanSAR coverage of continents and polar caps; radargrammetric coverage of world's landmass using two independent imaging beams; site-specific data acquisitions of most of the world's remote oceanic islands, tropical deltas, capitals and major cities. Currently providing ongoing four-season coverage of Arctic Basin

  4. RADARSAT-1 Program Status (3) • I-STOP (Integrated Satellite Tracking of Oil Polluters) monitoring for Canadian waters is now an operational program of the Canadian Ice Service • Program has met the mission objectives and continues to establish new bench-marks of excellence and success • Spacecraft health and resource utilization appear to indicate a continuation of operation until March 31, 2009 (another extension recently granted by the Government of Canada)

  5. 2007 Moscow(2004) Tromso (1996) Fairbanks (1995) Prince Albert (1995) Miami (2004) West Freugh (1996) China (1998) Gatineau (1995) Turkey (2002) Puerto Rico (2000) Japan (1998) Korea (1998) Saudi Arabia (1998) Thailand (2000) Singapore (1997) Malaysia (2003) Brazil (2001) Alice's Spring (1998) Argentina (2002) Hobart (1998) McMurdo (1995) RADARSAT-1 Reception Coverage 2006 Norway(2007) 2005 Russia(2007) 2004 Kazakhstan (2)(2005) 2003 Benevento(2006) 2002 2001 2000 2 Transportable Stations (2000) 1999 1 Transportable Stations (2003) 3 Transportable Stations (2004) 1998 2 Transportable Stations(2005) 1997 1996 1995 • Data Reception Facilities: 35 (including 8 transportable stations) • Data Archiving Facilities: 23 • Six More Stations Expected

  6. SCISAT Program Status (1) • Launched in August 2003, SCISAT satellite measures numerous trace gases, thin clouds and aerosols in the stratosphere, thereby enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the several chemical processes that play a role in stratospheric ozone depletion SCISAT

  7. SCISAT Program Status (2) • Capacity to receive science data was augmented from 1.1 GB (gigabytes) to 2.9 GB per day by employing two Canadian stations and those of US and European partners • In last fiscal year alone (Apr. 1, 2006 – Mar. 31, 2007) amounts of science data collected were: FTS: 650.7GB, Imager: 95.3 GB, MAESTRO: 22.5 GB • Data routinely being provided to the science team

  8. RADARSAT-2 Status • Most advanced commercial C-Band SAR satellite (MDA) • Launch scheduled for Summer 2007 • MDA MOC installed at CSA in St-Hubert in May 2006 • Spacecraft is completing testing at DFL in Ottawa

  9. RADARSAT Constellation (RSATC) - Constellation of 3 satellites in same orbital plane, equally spaced 15 to 30 minutes apart - 5 year development - 1 satellite launched every year, starting 2011 - On an average daily and complete coverage of Canada's land and oceans at 50 m resolution RSAT-1 RSAT-2 RSATC-1 RSATC-2 RSATC-3

  10. ANNOUNCEMENT OF OPPORTUNITY (AO) for Project DELTA(Differential Elevations, Levees and Terrain Assessment)A Collaborative Effort Between CSA, USGS and NASAINNOVATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INTO THE APPLICATION OF RADARSAT-1 INTERFEROMETRIC DATA FOR SUBSIDENCE MAPPING IN NEW ORLEANS • 23 Proposals accepted from PIs in 11 countries • First progress report from PIs on their investigations expected in June 2007

  11. Canadian GEO Secretariat (CGEO) • Interdepartmental CGEO Secretariat established in 2005 • Functions • Administer Canada’s engagement in International GEO (30%) • correspondence, official comments, delegation support, etc • Coordinate the development of a Canadian Strategy for Earth Observation (70%) • advance the principles of GEO/GEOSS within Canada, e.g., • coordinated EO data collection • data policies and infrastructure to support improved data access and interoperability • transformation of EO data into information for decision support • engagement of end users to realize societal benefits • in early development and consultation stage – target for completion April 2007 • Participants 1. EO network operators – EC, NRCan, AAFC, CSA, DFO, HC, DND • In future: provinces and municipalities 2. EO data and product users – all of the above, plus others consumer departments and agencies
