Mission - Copernicus Sentinels
Copernicus Sentinel-3
Copernicus Sentinel-3 is an European Earth Observation satellite mission developed to support Copernicus ocean, land, atmospheric, emergency, security and cryospheric applications.
Mission - Heritage Missions
Envisat
Envisat was ESA's successor to ERS. Envisat carried ten instruments aboard for a wide range of Earth observing fields. The mission was operational from 2002 to 2012.

CryoSat-Science-and-Mission-Requirements.pdf
This document describes the CryoSat mission. It aims to provide the scientist and the engineer with an explanation of the importance of the mission, and the basis for the design of the CryoSat satellite and instrument payload.
Document - Technical Note
CryoSat-Data-Processing-Concept.pdf
The purpose of this document is to provide information to groups or individuals with an interest in this activity that will aid the focussing and planning of their activity. It contains an outline of the schedule and approach to the development of pre-launch and post-launch baseline processing algorithms, together with an identification of new processing algorithms whose optimisations requires particular post-launch attention.
