SEASAT was a pioneering mission in using SAR to produce images of
a planetary surface. It was the true precursor mission that made Magellan,
the SRTM (STS-99), and Cassini possible.

It was launched in 1978 and its mission was relativley short.
Even though its main mission was monitoring sea surface conditions, its SAR
produced a good number of high-quality images of the continents.

Does anyone in the UMSF community have good Earth images from SEASAT
that they could share? Those images seem to be scarce on the Internet.
Also, images of the SEASAT spacecraft itself would be neat to see.
