The TOPEX/Poseidon satellite/sensors complement was designed to specifically measure the sea surface topography to an unprecedented accuracy of better than 14 cm. A brief description of the project, the satellite, and the sensors provides a background for understanding the mission. A brief presentation of systems and subsystems performance illustrates how the mission is substantially outperforming the overall performance requirements. More than one year of performance data are now available on which to base these early results. Successful flight hardware operations thus far are very promising for the possibility of mission lifetime being achieved for the 3-year primary mission, 2-year extended mission, and beyond. |
