摘要
In 1984 President Reagan announced that the U. S. A. intended to establish a space station in the 1990s. The program then proposed by NASA involved the development of a low-orbit manned space station, a co-orbiting platform and at least two polar-orbiting platforms dedicted to remote sensing. This paper looks at the background and justification for this remote sensing satellite in the context of a space station and then assesses the potential needs of part of the U. K. remote sensing community at the time of the satellite's launch.
