By measuring rainfall in the tropics, the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) will make possible the understanding of the heat engine that drives the global weather. The TRMM mission parameters are given, and the spacecraft is described. The instruments are examined, including the precipitation radar, TRMM microwave radiometer, and Advanced Very High Frequency Radiometer. The mission life is addressed, including atmospheric data, fuel consumption, and life extension methods. The spacecraft interfaces, payload configuration, and deployment sequence are considered. The subsystems are described, including propulsion, power, command, data handling, and tracking. A Japanese Experimental Data Relay Tracking Satellite experimental package working with TRMM is briefly addressed.
