Collection - RADARSAT Constellation Mission, CEOS-ARD

The RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) is Canada's third generation of Earth observation satellites. Launched on June 12, 2019, the three identical satellites work together to bring solutions to key challenges for Canadians. As part of ongoing Open Government efforts, NRCan produces a CEOS analysis ready data (ARD) of Canada landmass using a 30M Compact-Polarization standard coverage, every 12 days. RCM CEOS-ARD (POL) is the first ever polarimetric dataset approved by the CEOS committee. Previously, users were stuck ordering, downloading and processing RCM images (level 1) on their own, often with expensive software. This new dataset aims to remove these burdens with a new STAC catalog for discovery and direct download links.

This third party metadata element follows the Spatio Temporal Asset Catalog (STAC) specification.
