The Okean series of satellites were all-weather radar oceanographic systems primarily designed to monitor sea-ice conditions in the Arctic seas. The payload included a side-looking radar, a scanning microwave radiometer, a nadir-viewing microwave spectrometer, optical scanners and a data collection platform. The spacecraft was a stepped cylindrical pressurized bus 3 m high and 1.4 m diameter. It was 3-axis stabilized (nadir pointing, aided by a gravity gradient boom), had a twin solar array spanning 4.82 m and an 11.8 m radar antenna mounted on the Earth-facing base.
