This computation involved: DETAILS NEEDED - COMPUTATION CREATED FOR SATELLITE COMPOSITE. deployed on Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS). The Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) hosts the Advanced Visible and Near-Infrared Radiometer type 2 (AVNIR-2), the Panchromatic Remote sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping (PRISM) and the Phased Array type-L band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR). The satellite, developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), was launched in 2006 and was active for 5 years. It has since lost power, but remains in orbit. It's mission included cartography, regional observation, disaster monitoring and resource surveying.
