This satellite cost
Canadians $620-million dollars and has provided targeting data from the
start of Iraq war.
The U.S. has mobile
ground stations, called "EagleVision," that control our satellite.
The U.S.
immediately began downlinking RADARSAT data directly to
its forces in Iraq when they started waging this war there in March 2003.
At that time, a Pentagon
source told Space News Business Report:
“It’s doing great
things... It’s working like gangbusters.”
