Abstract
In this paper, the status and progress of the scatterometer (SCAT) of the Chinese-French Oceanography Satellite (CFOSAT) will be reported. SCAT/CFOSAT will be the first rotating fan-beam scatterometer (RFSCAT) ever flown on a satellite for global ocean vector wind measurement. The mission schedule, some design and development status and simulation results of its performances will be presented. The considerations about the calibration of RFSCAT is also presented in this presentation.
