The proposed spacecraft consists of a bus module, containing all subsystems required for support of the sensors, and a payload module containing all of the sensor equipment. The two modules are bolted together to form the spacecraft, and electrical interfaces are accomplished via mated connectors at the interface plane. This approach permits independent parallel assembly and test operations on each module up until mating for final spacecraft integration and test operations. Proposed program schedules recognize the need to refine sensor/spacecraft interfaces prior to proceeding with procurement, reflect the lead times estimated by suppliers for delivery of equipment, reflect a comprehensive test program, and provide flexibility for unanticipated problems. The spacecraft systems are described in detail along with aerospace ground equipment, ground handling equipment, the launch vehicle, imaging radar incorporation, and systems tests. (Author)
