High Resolution Optical • PRISM Acquisition Plan (JAXA web site) - summer seasons
IPY Mission Planning Issues • Access to mission planning tools for high res optical and microwave satellites (e.g.: ERS-2, Envisat, Radarsat-2, TerraSAR-X, ALOS) • Approach for developing a coordinated mission plan • Mission planning rules for distributing acquisition and processing load • Establish international mission planning team to devise optimal IPY plan
