RADARSAT-2

RADARSAT-2 is an object launched in 2007 in a low earth orbit, between 791 and 793 km above the Earth. It completes one orbit every 101 minutes, about 14.3 times a day, on a path tilted 98.6° to the equator. That tilt means it can pass over places as far north and south as 81° latitude.
