The Company

---

RADARSAT International (RSI) was formed in 1989 by a consortium to market, process, and distribute data worldwide from Canada's RADARSAT-1 Earth-observation satellite:

• MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates (MDA)
• Spar Aerospace
• Com Dev
• Lockheed Martin Astronautics

RSI provides Earth-observation data and derived information products from commercially-available Earth-observation satellites, such as RADARSAT-1, LANDSAT, LANDSAT 5, LANDSAT 7, IKONOS, IRS, ERS, QuickBird, and ENVISAT.

In 1999, MacDonald Dettwiler completed a buy out of the other RSI shareholders. Today, RSI is a wholly owned subsidiary of MDA.
