RADARSAT Ortho-rectified Mosaic of Canada, Lambert Conformal Conic, 1000 Metres

The development of the RADARSAT-1 Ortho-rectified Mosaic of Canada was initiated to provide a unique synoptic view of Canada using data acquired from Canada's first Earth Observation Satellite, launched in November of 1995. It celebrates the fact that RADARSAT-1 has reached and passed its five year design life in orbit. The satellite continues to deliver imagery that has been proven effective in a wide range of applications including ice reconnaissance, disaster management, oceanography and agriculture. This digital product has been developed at a number of scales (technically pixel spacing) to allow a variety of users the ability to download and use this data.
