  1. JAXA Status Report May 17, 2006 Budapest, Hungary Satoko Horiyama MIURA Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) CEOS/WGISS-21

  2. Office of Space Applications GEO Secretariat Office @Geneva Osamu Ochiai Earth Observation Research and application Center (EORC) Earth Observation Research Center (EORC) Satellite Applications and Promotion Center (SAPC) Earth Observation Center (EOC) Disaster Management Support System Office (DMSSO) Earth Observation Center (EOC) • CEOS WGISS/WGCV • Analysis of satellite data and scientific research • Research of Earth observation instrumentation, and development and operation of the ground system of Earth-observing satellite data GEO, CEOS SIT/Plenary, International Disaster Charter Promoting the use of satellite data As of May 1, 2006 Executive Director Safety and Mission Assurance Office Space Applications Program Systems Engineering Office Program Management and Integration Dept. Satellite Navigation System Office Satellite Operations Engineering Dept. Osamu Ochiai Kengo Aizawa Satoko Miura ETS-Ⅷ Project OICETS Project WINDS Project ALOS Project GOSAT Project GPM/DPR Project CEOS/WGISS-21

  3. ALOS Successfully launched at 10:33 a.m. on January 24, 2006 (JST). Now called as “Daichi”, which means “terra” in Japanese. CEOS/WGISS-21

  4. © JAXA AVNIR-2 Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type 2 © JAXA © JAXA © JAXA Advanced Land Observing Satellite <ALOS> Japanese Earth Resources Satellite-1 (JERS-1) Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS) Enhanced land-observation technology • Disaster monitoring • Cartography • Regional observation • Resources surveying ALOS PRISM Panchromatic Remote sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping PALSAR Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar CEOS/WGISS-21

  5. ALOS data (1) Mt. Fuji observed by the PRISM on Feb. 14, 2006 (JST) CEOS/WGISS-21

  6. ALOS data (2) Tanegashima Island observed by the AVNIR-2 on February 17, 2006 (JST) CEOS/WGISS-21

  7. ALOS data (3) The image data on Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture was observed by the PALSAR on Mar. 21, 2006 (JST). CEOS/WGISS-21

  8. ALOS data (4) Merapi at 11:40 a.m. on April 29, 2006 (JST) PALSAR data AVNIR-2 data CEOS/WGISS-21

  9. Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite <GOSAT> • ~’91 • ’92~ Observing Station Provided by NIES © JAXA Number and distribution of ground-based CO2 monitoring stations is not enough. Satellite data from global and frequent observation is needed. GOSAT • Objectives • To observe the distribution of the concentration of CO2and to confirm both the amounts and the area of CO2 sources and sinks. • To observe the distribution of the concentration of other greenhouse gases e.g. CH4 in order to understand global warming more precisely. CEOS/WGISS-21

  10. Global Precipitation Mission <GPM> GPM Era TRMM Era GPM is a follow-on and expanded mission of the current on-going TRMM Core Satellite Constellation Satellites • Core Satellite • Dual-frequency precipitation radar (DPR) • Microwave radiometer (GMI) • Precipitation with high precision • Discrimination between rain and snow • Constellation Satellites • Microwave radiometer • Global precipitation every three hours • Improve the accuracy of both long-term and short-term weather forecasts • Improve water resource management in river control and irrigation systems for agriculture CEOS/WGISS-21

  11. GCOM-W: Sea surface observation mission with AMSR F/O and scatterometer. GCOM-C: Atmospheric and terrestrial observation mission with GLI F/O. ADEOS-II Follow-on Mission (GCOM) JAXA will propose a series of satellites for establishing GEOSS mainly focused on observations of global warming, water cycle and disaster. The series of satellites, GCOM (Global Climate Observation Mission), consist of 2 satellite series: CEOS/WGISS-21
