Advanced Land Observing Satellite 4 (ALOS-4), also called Daichi 4 (daichi is a Japanese word meaning "great land"), is a 3,000 kg (6,600 lb) Japanese L-band synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) satellite that was launched on July 1, 2024.
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]
The first Philippine satellites were operated by private companies. The first Filipino-owned satellite is Agila-1, a satellite acquired in 1996 by Mabuhay Satellite Corporation from PT Pasifik Satelit Nusantara, an Indonesian company. The first Philippine satellite launched to space was Agila-2 which was placed to orbit in 1997.
Founded on 10 November 1994 bearing the name Mabuhay Philippine Satellite Corporation (MPSC), the company was established primarily to build, own, operate and maintain an international satellite facility and other forms of telecommunications equipment that are capable of providing telecommunications and broadcasting on a domestic and international level.

Ford Aerospace was the aerospace and defense division of Ford Motor Company.It was based in Dearborn, Michigan and was active from 1956 (originally as Philco and then Philco Ford) through 1990, when it was sold to the Loral Corporation.
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.
The satellite contains a 1.2 GHz synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) sensor that is intended to be used for cartography, monitoring of naval traffic and disaster monitoring of Asia and the Pacific. [3] JAXA initially hoped to be able to launch the successor to ALOS during 2011, but these plans were delayed until 2014 because of budget restrictions.
