2025 RADARSAT-2 Satellite Imagery

SANSA and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research embarked on a collaborative effort to improve South Africa’s Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA). The collaboration aimed to improve South African monitoring capabilities in support of the National Oceans and Coastal Information Management System (OCIMS). RADARSAT-2 is acquired over South Africa’s Exclusive Economic Zone, Prince Edward, and Marion Islands. Data is acquired in any combination of horizontal and vertical polarizations (HH, HV, VV, VH).
