Follow-on mission of L-band SAR from "DAICHI" (ALOS), which contributes for a variety of purposes, including disaster monitoring, forest distribution, and analysis of crustal movement.
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.
The Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) was developed to contribute to the fields of mapping, precise regional land-coverage observation, disaster monitoring, and resource surveying.
Collection Overview: The ALOS Global Digital Surface Model (AW3D30) is a global dataset generated from images collected using the Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping (PRISM) aboard the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) from 2006 to 2011.
Launched on 7 March 2023, Advanced Land Observing Satellite-3 (ALOS-3), also known as Daichi-3, was a follow-on mission from the ALOS/Daichi program developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
The ALOS-2 stands for Advanced Land Observing Satellite 2, launched by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) on May 2014. The Japanese name is DAICHI-2.This site will guide your purchase of satellite imagery of ALOS-4 and ALOS-2.
