Mandrel has been selected by the Canadian Space Agency to support all its projects. All space projects are inherently risky (once it's up there, it either works or it doesn't - there are no second chances), and CSA has been a long-time user of Davion's RIAS software to measure and control risk. However, in moving to Mandrel they have now taken the process a step further, by integrating uncertainty measurement and control into projects from the outset.

CSA's RADARSAT series of satellites have been providing high resolution radar imagery of our planet since 1995. The RADARSAT Constellation is the evolution of the RADARSAT Program with the objectives of ensuring data continuity and improved system reliability. The three-satellite configuration will provide daily access to 95% of the world to Canadian and international users. Mission development began in 2005, with satellite launches planned for 2014 and 2015. Credit: CSA
