The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a research and development center and NASA field center in Pasadena, California. The JPL is owned by NASA and managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology. The laboratory's primary function is the construction and operation of planetary robotic spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is also responsible for operating NASA's Deep Space Network. Among the laboratory's major active projects are the Mars Scien...

In the summer of 1974 JPL was selected to manage the Seasat project and in October the project office was formed. Seasat launched June 26, 1978, and was active for 4 months, ending operations in October. It was the first Earth-orbiting satellite designed to study the oceans. There were four experiments which included the Radar Altimeter (ALT) to measure ocean surface topography by measuring spacecraft altitude above the ocean surface; the Seasat-A Satellite Scatterometer (SASS), to measure wind ...
