The objectives of the microwave remote sensing experiment were to develop all-weather remote sensing methods, study sensor-object interaction by measurement of ocean surface wave spectra with a two-frequency scatterometer, and verify synthetic aperture radar behavior. The microwave remote sensing experiment instrumentation was a radar facility. In the active modes, the instrument transmitted microwave energy in X-band (9.65 GHz) to earth targets.
