This ENVIROSAT-2000 Report concerns utilization of the polar platform component of NASA's Space Station program. Issues covered in the report include instrument payloads, altitudes, orbits, serviceability, communications, and data processing. A scenario is set forth for operational utilization of the platform, including issues surrounding integration of operational and research missions. The discussion is broken down by discipline: oceanography, meteorology, land sciences, atmospheric sciences, and solar-terrestrial investigations. A cost analysis shows that performing NOAA operations from the polar platforms would prove extremely beneficial by replacing the expendable two Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) system that NOAA now maintains. Keywords: Space remote sensing, Environmental satellites, Satellite remote sensing.
