Security, small price to pay
The Canadian Space Agency seem to know how to make money...........
"The small satellite constellation will enhance <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canada</st1:place></st1:country-region>'s ability to ensure its sovereignty and security through space-borne coastal surveillance," said Minister Bernier. "It will also ensure the continuity of data services for government departments and a growing number of commercial clients in more than 60 countries worldwide." Like RADARSAT, the three-satellite radar constellation will be designed to function day and night in all weather conditions." http://www.space.gc.ca/asc/eng/media.../2006/0313.asp
