The Earth needs a health check
The Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2) is a follow-up mission of "DAICHI", which has contributed to cartography, regional observation, disaster monitoring and resource surveys. ALOS-2 will succeed in this mission with enhanced capabilities.
Specifically, JAXA is conducting research and development activities to enhance the wide-ranging, high-resolution observation technologies developed for DAICHI in order to further meet social needs.
Characteristics of the Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 "DAICHI-2" (ALOS-2)
1) Monitoring of disasters in the areas of damage, both in considerable detail and when these areas may be large
2) Continuous updating of data files related to national land and infrastructure information
3) Effective monitoring of cultivated areas
4) Global monitoring of tropical forests to identify carbon sinks.
The state-of-the-art L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR-2) aboard ALOS-2, which is an active microwave radar that uses the 1.2 GHz frequency band, will, in response to society's needs, have improved performance compared to DAICHI/PALSAR. PALSAR-2 is capable of observing day and night and in all weather conditions.
Accurate diagnosis of the earth using advanced Japanese "L-band SAR" technology
The Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 will have a focus mode (1 to 3m) and a high-resolution mode (3 to 10m), while the PALSAR has a resolution of 10m. This will enable comprehensive disaster monitoring, providing users with more detailed data than DAICHI/PALSAR.
The observation frequency of the Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 will be improved by greatly expanding the observable range of the satellite up to about 3 times, promoting an improvement in observable areas (from 870 km to 2,320 km), as well as providing ALOS-2 with a right and correct path. function on the left, currently not available in DAICHI / PALSAR.
