The addition of the RapidEye capability expands MDA’s existing multi-sensor offering to the USAF, which includes data access from the Radarsat-2 satellite since May 2009.

RapidEye is a constellation of five light weight Earth Observation small satellites to image any point on the Earth, which provides the ability to monitor changes at any location of interest.
