Abstract
HY-2, the China's satellite for oceanic dynamic environment measurement, is planed to be launched around 2010. The main payloads of HY-2 include a dual-frequency radar altimeter equipped with a three-band nadir-looking radiometer for atmospheric delay correction, a Ku-band radar scatterometer, and a five-band scanning radiometer. This presentation outlines the specifications, parameters, and design of the HY-2 radar altimeter and scatterometer.
