LOS ANGELES, June 11 (Xinhua) -- U.S. private space company SpaceX plans to launch Canada's RADARSAT Constellation Mission from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Wednesday morning, according to a news release of SpaceX.

The launch is scheduled for a window beginning at 7:17 a.m. Wednesday, June 12, from the air force base's Space Launch Complex-4.

A Falcon 9 rocket is set to carry the RADARSAT Constellation, which will include three Earth Observation satellites.

The mission will capture images of Earth's water, land, ice and atmosphere during the day and night and in all types of weather, including heavy cloud cover, smoke and haze.

The mission is designed to provide effective solutions in three main areas: maritime surveillance, disaster management and ecosystem monitoring, according to the Canadian Space Agency. Enditem
