RADARSAT-1 also had the unique ability to direct its beam at different angles.

RADARSAT-1's images were useful in many fields, including agriculture, cartography, hydrology, forestry, oceanography, geology, ice and ocean monitoring, arctic surveillance, and detecting ocean oil slicks. 484:
and deployed to 15 m (49 ft) in length on orbit. Unlike optical satellites that sense reflected sunlight, SAR systems transmitted microwave energy towards the surface and recorded the reflections. Thus, Radarsat-1 imaged the Earth, day or night, in any atmospheric condition, such as cloud

Each of RADARSAT-1's seven beam modes offered a different image resolution. The modes included Fine, which covers an area of 50 Ă— 50 km (31 Ă— 31 mi) (2,500 km (970 sq mi)) with a resolution of 10 m (33 ft); Standard, which covered an area of

of 100.70 minutes, RADARSAT-1 circles the Earth 14 times a day. The orbit path repeats every 24 days, this means that the satellite is in exactly the same location and could take the same image (same beam mode and beam position) every 24 days. This is useful for

The Canadian federal government contributed about CA$ 500 million, the four participating provinces ( 525:, it faces east. Locations could therefore be imaged from opposite sides. Combined with the different beam modes and positions, this provided users with many possible perspectives from which to image a location. 379:(SAR) to obtain images of the Earth's surface to manage natural resources and monitor global climate change. As of March 2013, the satellite was declared non-operational and is no longer collecting data. 517:
