The SOAR Program

The Science and Operational Applications Research for RADARSAT-2 Program (SOAR) is a joint partnership program between MDA and the Canadian Government through the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the Natural Resource Canada's Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS). The program provides access to RADARSAT-2 data (once the satellite is launched) for research and testing purposes. Our Norwegian regional partner -Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) - will provide data to principal investigators in Norway and Sweden.
