A solid state altimeter and a DORIS precision tracking system receiver for the TOPEX satellite were designed. A solid state altimeter sharing the TOPEX antenna was chosen instead of a solid state amplifier for the NASA altimeter. The altimeter will be ON only when the NASA altimeter is OFF and vice-versa. The DORIS receiver will be ON full time during the mission. Attitude specifications; orbit control; altimeter antenna sharing; DORIS TRANET compatibility; interference studies; radiation studies; and definition of the sensor interface are discussed.
