Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS), also called Daichi (a Japanese word meaning "land"), was a 3810 kg Japanese satellite launched in 2006. After five years of service, the satellite lost power and ceased communication with Earth, but remains in orbit.
Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2), also called Daichi-2, is a 2,120 kg (4,670 lb) Japanese satellite launched in 2014. 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.
An artist's rendering of GCOM-W1. GCOM (Global Change Observation Mission), is a JAXA project of long-term observation of Earth environmental changes. As a part of Japan's contributions to GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems), GCOM will be continued for 10 to 15 years with observation and utilization of global geophysical data such as precipitation, snow, water vapor, aerosol ...
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.
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 ...
Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0. This mid-size fire pit from Solo Stove is easy to start, gives off a comfortable amount of heat, and creates very little smoke, making it a worthwhile addition to your patio.
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.
It is also the U.S. archive [23] for Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B (a European Space Agency mission), [24] European Remote Sensing Satellite 1 and 2 (ERS 1/ERS 2), the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite 1 (JERS 1), RADARSAT 1 and the Japanese Advanced Land Observing Satellite mission, which featured Phased Array L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar ...
