Background Radarsat-1 Ideal EO system to monitor polar regions Still operational (2008-2009) Data continuity Radarsat-2 (Canadian government data allocation - $450M) Radarsat C (High revisiting frequency – 3 satellites) CSA submitted a proposal to the Canadian IPY office to support the coordination, acquisition, processing and dissemination of Radarsat data during the IPY period Large Radarsat-1 Archive collected over both polar regions (>250,000 images over the Arctic) CSA initiated the processing of a significant portion of the Radarsat-1 Canadian Archive - ASAP project ($1.5M)

ASAP Project National consultation (Nov-06) Three phases under which more than 7 500 Radarsat-1 archive data will be processed: Phase 1 (50%): Blanket coverage in Fine 1 of the Canadian polar region and the Arctic Archipelago (2000-2001) Phase 2 (25%): Seasonal polar snapshots between 2003 and now Phase 3 (25%): Processing of images under specific areas of interests identified and agreed upon as supersites by the research communities Web Portal for images and products dissemination
