Falcon 9 Block 5 | CHORUS

CHORUS is MDA's next generation Earth observation constellation, consisting of 2 radar satellites (C-band SAR and X-band SAR), in a 53.5 degree 600 km altitude LEO, with the X-band trailing the C-band by 60 minutes. A collaborative multi-sensor constellation, CHORUS will bring together diverse and unique imagery and data sources and provide a new level of near real-time insight and innovative Earth observation services. Operating in a unique mid-inclination orbit, CHORUS will be able to image day or night, regardless of weather conditions, with daily access of up to 95% of the coverage area. From an industry-leading 700km-wide imaging swath down to sub-metre high resolution, CHORUS will provide the most extensive and unrivalled Earth observation radar imaging capacity available on the market in a single mission.

The reminder alerts you thirty minutes ahead. No live coverage has been announced yet, so the file points at this page instead. It is a file rather than a subscription: launch dates slip, and a saved entry does not move when they do.

Current date is a placeholder or rough estimation based on unreliable or interpreted sources.
