The CSA is responsible for Canada\u2019s space program. They focus on various aspects of space exploration, research, and technology development. The CSA works on satellite missions, space science research, Earth observation, communication technologies, and international collaborations. RADARSAT-2 is an MDA and CSA joint SAR mission. Both the RCM and the RADARSAT-2 mission play a crucial role in Canada&#8217;s space program and contribute to our understanding of Earth&#8217;s environment.
