Only 52 of 4,300 images of Japan could be updated based on data from ALOS. [4] [5] Then, JAXA announced the problem was solved. [6] ALOS was used to analyze several disaster sites. [7] [8] [9] Images of the devastated Japanese coast following the 2011 TÅhoku earthquake and tsunami were among the last major contributions from ALOS. [10] [11]
Although the predecessor ALOS satellite had featured 2 optical cameras in addition to L-band (1.2 GHz/25 cm) radar, ALOS-2 had optical cameras removed to simplify construction and reduce costs. The PALSAR-2 radar is a significant upgrade of the PALSAR radar, allowing higher-resolution (1 x 3 m per pixel) spotlight modes in addition to the 10 m ...
The AVNIR was a multispectral radiometer for observing the Earth in the visible and near-IR wavelengths at high spatial resolution. The AVNIR employs a Schmidt optical system and an electronic scanning CCD silicon array. The AVNIR consisted of three visible channels (0.40-0.50, 0.52-0.62, 0.62-0.72 microns) and one near-IR channel (0.82-0.92 ...

Denmark's government has proposed purchasing two new Arctic inspection vessels and increasing dog sled patrols to boost its military presence in Greenland, as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump ...
ALOS-3 carried OPS (OPtical Sensor), a multi-band optical camera which is an upgrade from the PRISM sensor. [2] OPS was capable of observing a 70-kilometer (43 mi) wide strip of land on Earth. [5] In addition to the RGB and infrared band covered by the predecessor ALOS satellite, ALOS-3 has two additional bandwidths: coastal and red edge.
ALOS-4 is further enhanced from ALOS-2 by equipping the new PALSAR-3 synthetic aperture radar, which employs the new digital beamforming SAR technology. While the observation range in spotlight mode with a resolution of 1 m x 3 m was 25 km square for ALOS-2, ALOS-4 enables observation over a 35 km square area.
