Canada's RADARSAT program involves a constellation of three satellites that can scan 90 per cent of the world's surface up to four times a day.

Joly told a news conference in the Montreal area the investment will help support Arctic security, guide operations on the ground, and help ºÃÉ«tv officials respond quickly to emergencies.

The agreement follows an initial $44.7-million contract awarded in December of last year to buy specialized parts for the replenishment satellite, which will help maintain uninterrupted access to RADARSAT data.

The ºÃÉ«tv Space Agency says the new satellite is expected to launch in the early 2030s.
