On November 4, 1995, the Canadian commercial satellite Radarsat-1 began operating in orbit. Radarsat-1 became the world's first commercial synthetic aperture radar, which led to a steady demand for radar images. Currently, only archived Radarsat-1 data is available. It was succeeded on December 14, 2007 by the Radarsat-2 radar satellite.
