1982年3月24日,欧空局十四个成员国在巴黎开会,讨论并批准了欧洲第一颗地球遥感卫星的研制计划。此计划由该局应用处地球观测计划办公室管理,西德道尔尼公司领导的工业集团负责研制。计划在1983年底开始研制,1987年底用阿里安火箭发射。卫星的主要目的是促进沿海的开发,包括冰水域的开发,同时通过卫星获得全世界海洋的气象资料,改进全球气象预报。星上装备的合成孔径雷达,将用于陆地遥感及海洋观测。
On March 24, 1982, 14 ESA member nations met in Paris to discuss and approve the development plan of the first earth remote sensing satellite in Europe. The plan is administered by the Bureau’s Earth Observing Program Office and is run by an industrial group led by Siddharthani. It is planned to begin development by the end of 1983 and by the end of 1987 it will be launched by Alian rocket. The main purpose of satellites is to promote coastal development, including the development of ice waters, while obtaining oceanographic meteorological data from satellites worldwide and improving global meteorological forecasts. Star synthetic aperture radar equipment, will be used for land-based remote sensing and ocean observation.
