Abstract

This paper describes the requirements that the polar platform will have to meet if it is to satisfy the needs of the scientific earth observation communities in the early 1990's. The Eos is a prime mission for the polar platform. The polar platform will be a large satellite in a sun synchronous orbit that could be built up from the same components that are to be used to build the Space Station and its co-orbiting freeflying satellite. It will be serviced from the Shuttle so that it will be kept in operation and up-to-date for at least a decade. An initial set of scientific requirements has been documented by a Science and Missions Requirements Working Group (S&MRWG). These scientific requirements have been translated into derived technical requirements for the polar platform. These derived requirements are presented.
