A study of the major systems aspects associated with the Coastal Ocean Monitoring Satellite System (COMSS) and design studies of principal payload elements in the space segment are presented. The COMSS concept envisages a large 3-axis stabilized satellite incorporating several Earth observation sensors operating in the visible, infrared, and microwave regions of the spectrum. This satellite and the system of which it forms a part would be used for monitoring the economically and environmentally important coastal oceans regions of Europe and the World.
