The RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) includes three identical Earth observation satellites and is a paradigm shift from previous RADARSAT missions. Instead of launching a single large, multi-year operations satellite, the capabilities of the system will be distributed across several small satellites, increasing revisit, and introducing a more robust, flexible system that can be maintained at lower cost and launched into orbit using less expensive launch vehicles. 1, record 1, English, - RADARSAT%20Constellation%20Mission

La mission de la Constellation RADARSAT (MCR) tire profit de trois satellites identiques d'observation de la Terre. Cette mission constitue un profond changement de paradigme par rapport aux missions RADARSAT antérieures. Au lieu de lancer un seul grand satellite en vue d'une exploitation pendant plusieurs années, les capacités du système seront réparties sur plusieurs petits satellites, ce qui aura pour effet de réduire l'intervalle de survol d'une même cible et de proposer un système plus robuste et plus souple pouvant être entretenu à faible coût et pouvant être mis sur orbite à l'aide de lanceurs moins onéreux. 1, record 1, French, - mission%20de%20la%20Constellation%20RADARSAT
