2007 was a very promising year for the future of our PSInSAR™ technology.
After CosmoSkyMed and TerraSar-X satellites, the second genaration-satellite RADARSAT-2  was launched successfully into space from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan last friday, 14th of December.

RADARSAT-2 is designed with RADARSAT-1 compatible beam modes (also RADARSAT-2 has on board a C-band radar sensor ) and will follow the same orbit, repeat cycle, and ground track as RADARSAT-1. This will ensure the continuity of TRE RADARSAT archive, which is strategic in guaranteeing up-to-date monitoring of surface deformations through PS analyses.
RADARSAT-2 contains numerous technical enhancements that will assist the ability to generate products of higher quality than RADARSAT-1 as well.
