The Canadian earth observation satellite, RADARSAT, was launched in late 1995. The aim of this space borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) program is to provide C-band HH polarized SAR data products for five years at varying incidence angles, resolutions and area coverages. The system has been designed to produce imagery using single beams in elevation and also to operate in the ScanSAR mode by combining different elevation beams. SAR images have been obtained and were used to measure system performance during the Beam Qualification Phase. The measured image quality parameters for single beam products dealing with all aspects of image quality except radiometric calibration have been found to meet and exceed the system specifications. Based on the system performance and on completion of the commissioning activities, the Initial Operational Capability for the system was declared in April 1996.
