Under the current MOU between the U.S. and Canada, ASF will continue to acquire new RADARSAT-1 data until RADARSAT-1 is no longer operational or RADARSAT-2 is certified to be operational, whichever comes first, or as early as March 31, 2008. After that time, archival data from RADARSAT-1 in ASF’s archive will continue to be available from ASF, but new data acquisition requests cannot be honored. Exact deadlines for submitting new RADARSAT-1 acquisitions will be posted when they become known. If you need SAR data in support of your research after March, you might consider using ERS-2 C-band data or ALOS PALSAR L-band data to meet your research requirements. Feel free to contact ASF User Services Office for more information on your options at uso@asf.alaska.edu or (907) 474-6166.
