A study to provide a technical definition of the Tropical Earth Resources Satellite (TERS) spacecraft, ground station, data preprocessing facilities and satellite operations in sufficient detail for a reliable estimate of the required budget and time for the realization of a TERS project is proposed. It should also provide a better insight into the feasibility aspects of such a project. The technical definition includes system and subsystem design specifications, and definition of the products to be supplied to the users. The execution of the project is defined up to and including the in-orbit checkout.
