Am still intrigued by the Copernicus project and so here is a link to a news story from the +European Space Agency, ESA where having a radar satellite has made a difference:
Copernicus Sentinel-1 aids response to Namibia flood
It seems interesting to me that such satellites haven't already been in widespread use before. Oh yeah, so the point of a radar satellite is that it can penetrate through clouds making it all-weather.
Europe is pioneering a system, and I have to wonder why my country doesn't already have something like that in use for the world.
But that just goes to show you: no one country or group of countries will provide all the solutions necessary for our world.
