For a bit over two months now I've been working on Canada's 3rd generation Radarsat, a constellation of 3 satellites (RCM). I got interested in RCM as I gathered research evidence on other satellites and found some nice cleanroom shots from CSA and Bristol Aerospace, a division of MAC (Magellan Aerospace Corporation). A couple interesting things about RCM, includes its three equidistant sun synchronous orbit launched from a single SpaceX Falcon scheduled for this coming February.

After getting in touch with PR liaisons from MAC and CSA, I made two models; one for kids and one for modelers. I'm working on directions and final tweaks now. I'm hopeful that I might be able to publish my models through the CSA - with copies on here of course. Here's my prototypes, in 1:25 scale.
