Summary
Abstract: Seasat was launched on June 28, 1978 carrying the first imaging Synthetic
Aperture Radar (SAR) system used as a scientific sensor from earth orbit. A SAR
antenna (2m x 10m) was mounted on the spacecraft with its boresight oriented at
a 20 degree angle from the vertical direction, pointing right of the flight
path. The antenna beam measured approximately 6 degrees in elevation and 1
degree in ... View entire text
