Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS) was the first international space platform dedicated to Earth environmental research developed and managed by the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) ... ADEOS launched on August 17, 1996 (at 01:53 UT) into a sun synchronous sub-recurrent orbit of an altitude of approximately 830 km by an H-II launch vehicle from the Tanegashima Space Center. ADEOS failed in June 1997 and was replaced on task by NASA's Earth Probe TOMS.  6, record 1, English, - advanced%20earth%20observing%20satellite

NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) is an active microwave radar to measure winds over the oceans by transmitting Ku band microwave pulse (13.995 GHz) and receiving backscatter powers from the ocean surface. The backscatter powers is subject to changes in direction of surface waves. Multidirectional measurements can thus be used to solve wind speed and direction simultaneously by using algorithm derived from the previous studies.  3, record 2, English, - NASA%20scatterometer

Le satellite ALOS(Advanced Land Observing Satellite) s’inscrit dans la série de satellites japonais JERS-1(Japanese Earth Resources Satellite-1) et ADEOS(Advanced Earth Observing Satellite) faisant appel aux technologies de pointe dans le domaine de l'observation de la terre. ALOS servira pour la cartographie, l'observation régionale, le suivi des catastrophes et l'évaluation des ressources. ALOS possède trois instruments de télédétection : l'instrument panchromatique PRISM(Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping) pour la cartographie numérique d’altitude, le radiomètre AVNIR-2(Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type 2) pour l'observation précise de la couverture au sol, et le capteur radar PALSAR(Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar) pour l'observation de la terre de jour et de nuit et sous toutes les conditions climatiques.  2, record 3, French, - satellite%20ALOS

The POLDER (Polarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectances) instrument will observe the polarization, directional and spectral characteristics of the solar light reflected by aerosols, clouds, oceans and land surfaces. POLDER is a push broom, wide field of view, multi-band imaging radiometer/polarimeter developed by CNES. Multi-angle viewing is achieved by the along-track migration at the spacecraft velocity of a quasi-square footprint intercepted by the total instantaneous 114-degree wide field of view. This footprint is partitioned into 242x274 elements of quasi-constant 7kmx6km resolution, imaged by a CCD matrix in the focal plane.  2, record 4, English, - polarisation%20and%20directionality%20of%20the%20Earth%27s%20reflectances

Since August 1996, a new sensor, the NASA SCATterometer (NSCAT) has been flying on the Japanese ADvanced Earth Observation System (ADEOS) satellite. It is a Ku-band scatterometer and it will provide similar information but with better spatial and temporal resolution because of its double swath and its 25 km resolution.  2, record 5, English, - double%20swath
