摘要
The Radarsat Earth-observation satellite was launched on November 4, 1995 aboard a Delta 2 rocket. Radarsat can produce images of extraordinary clarity even through clouds, smog, haze, smoke, and darkness using its synthetic aperture radar (SAR). One of its Antarctic Mapping Mission, dubbed AMM-1, which began with the `entry' maneuver on September 9, 1997, is described.
