SEASAT-A - A user oriented systems design
Abstract
The SEASAT-A spacecraft is tentatively scheduled for launch in 1978 into a nearly circular orbit with an altitude of approximately 800 km. The spacecraft is to demonstrate a capability for the global monitoring of wave height and spectra, surface winds, ocean temperature, and current patterns. Other objectives include the charting of ice fields and a mapping of the global geoid. The sensors to be carried by the spacecraft are discussed and a description is given of the satellite system and the subsystems.
