“We are honored that we have been able to use our radar satellite capabilities to contribute to this international effort, and will continue to do everything in our power to assist governments. Ukraine protect its citizens,” he added.
MDA radar capabilities are quite large. For example, they built Radarsat-2, which has been circling Earth since December 2007, as well as three Radarsat Constellation spacecraft, which were launched into Earth orbit on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in June 2019.
Greenley’s brief statement did not specify which other company images MDA would look at. It is possible, for example, that Colorado-based Capella Space has also captured SAR images of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
