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.
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]
A motor control center (MCC) is an assembly to control some or all electric motors in a central location. It consists of multiple enclosed sections having a common power bus and with each section containing a combination starter, which in turn consists of motor starter , fuses or circuit breaker , and power disconnect .

Dowty Rotol R391 six-blade composite controllable- and reversible-pitch propeller of a C-130J Super Hercules. In aeronautics, a variable-pitch propeller is a type of propeller (airscrew) with blades that can be rotated around their long axis to change the blade pitch.
A plugboard or control panel (the term used depends on the application area) is an array of jacks or sockets (often called hubs) into which patch cords can be inserted to complete an electrical circuit. Control panels are sometimes used to direct the operation of unit record equipment, cipher machines, and early computers. The array of holes is ...
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.
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.
A control panel is a flat, often vertical, area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed or it is an enclosed unit that is the part of a system [1] that users can access, such as the control panel of a security system (also called control unit).
