Description
Information/data gathering requirements over the ocean in support of these objectives include synopticity (quality of affording a general view of the world), aerial coverage, and real time data collection and processing. This paper will show that existing and planned space technology has unique advantages for satisfying these requirements and, hence has great potential for furthering national oceanic goals.
To begin with, a brief review of the information/ data gathering requirements in support of national oceanic objectives is given to provide a basis on which to judge the capabilities and advantages of space technology in this activity.
Next, applicable space technology is described, including characteristics of space sensors, booster capabilities, and earth coverage capabilities. Three time-phased postulated oceanographic sensing satellite systems also are described.
