The TOPEX\/POSEIDON satellite was launched in August 1992 and was expected to operate through  September, 1998.   The satellite is currently in operation.  TOPEX\/POSEIDON measures the global ocean topography every 10 days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe CD-ROM contains over an hour of digital video, audio, images, and text captions which describe everything from the impetus for the mission to the science results obtained in the first three years. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe CD-ROM is divided into the following seven sections:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMission History and Background\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMission Description\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpacecraft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow the Measurement System Works\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMission Operations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat We've Learned\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScience Data\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe CD-ROM is designed for a general audience.
