Canada-made radar technology to be used in global surface water survey

A piece of Canadian radar technology will play a key role in a satellite mission scheduled to launch Friday that aims to study almost all of the Earth’s water surfaces and provide data that will be a boon for Canadian researchers. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission is led by NASA and France’s space agency –Centre national d’etudes spatiale– with contributions from the Canadian and United Kingdom space agencies.
