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.

CRYO2ICE-Orbit-Raising-Summary.pdf
This document provides a summary of the quality checking performed for the CRYO2ICE orbit raising campaign for CryoSat.
Document - Technical Note
CryoSat-Mission-and-Data-Description.pdf
The purpose of this document is to provide information about the CryoSat mission and its implementation. The level of detail is intended to be such that the potential users, and other scientists, will be in a position to understand the capabilities and limitations of the system as well as the nature of the information it will deliver.
