Summary

• SvalSat station continues to expand in terms missions and users and in terms of capabilities (Capacity, Ka-band etc.) • Antarctica station in its third year of successful operations. Serves key commercial and scientific missions. • Radarsat-2 and future RadarSat/Sentinel secures data and service continuity for the maritime monitoring and surveilleance. • HMA compliant ordering and sensor planning is key for data delivery services.
