SPOT Image Corp. signed a licensing agreement with Radarsat International (RSI) for Radarsat to distribute and market in the United States remote sensing imagery from the Radarsat satellite. British Columbia-based RSI is the exclu sive worldwide distributor of Radarsat imagery, which allows resolutions from 8-100 meters across swaths of 50-500 kilometers. The agreement expands SPOT’s imagery services to radar; the company typically has focused on optical-based remote sensing. Canada’s Radarsat satellite was launched by the Canadian Space Agency in November 1995, and is the second commercial remote sensing venture after SPOT’s system. (SPOT Image, 703/715-3137.)
