Abstract
An international programme for polar earth observations will be established by NASA /ESA/NASDA, starting in 1995. Among many other instruments, the first NASA mission (EOS-1) will possibly incorporate a sensor system for measuring global land topography. JPL (Pasadena, Cal.) together with the Institute of Navigation (University of Stuttgart) and Dornier System (Friedrichshafen) are currently conceiving such a sensor system, which will be a multimode radar altimeter for ocean and land applications.
