Geologic utility of improved orbital measurement capabilities in reference to non-renewable resources

Spectral and spatial characteristics necessary for future orbital remote sensing systems are defined. The conclusions are based on the past decade of experience in exploring for non-renewable resources with reference to data from ground, aircraft, and orbital systems. Two principle areas of investigation are used in the discussion: a structural interpretation in a basin area for hydrocarbon exploration, and a discrimination of altered areas in the Cuprite district in Nevada.

NASA NTRS1978

SEASAT A satellite scatterometer

The analyses performed in the early period of the program which formed the basis of the sensor design is reviewed, along with the sensor design. The test program is outlined, listing all tests performed and the environmental exposure (simulated) for each, as applicable. Ground support equipment designed and built for assembly integration and field testing is described. The software developed during the program and the algorithms/flow diagrams which formed the bases for the software are summarized.
