The SEASAT-A satellite was launched on June 26, 1978 and operated in orbit through October 9, 1978. The SEASAT-A satellite scatterometer ocean surface wind field sensor began taking data on July 10, 1978 with virtually continuous operation for 95-1/2 days. A review of mission events significant to the scatterometer and a report on the hardware and software engineering assessment are presented.
