RADARSAT-1 Background Mission Monitoring of the Arctic
Abstract- RADARSAT-1 baseline data acquisition planning has been performed for the past nine years under the Canadian Space Agency's Background Mission. Background Mission is about building uniform, global archives in support of RADARSAT-1 Program objectives of time- and site-specific data coll...

Background Mission is about building uniform, global archives in support of RADARSAT-1 Program objectives of time- and site-specific data collections.

It is expected that the systematic, sustained RADARSAT Background Mission coverage of the Arctic would result into valuable temporal records of a part of the world that is particularly sensitive to global climate change.
