Alaska Satellite Facility Nettie La Belle-Hamer ASF Director
DRTS Ka-band 240 Mbps ALOS ALOS L0 data will be processed and archived JAXA/EOC Zoned L0 data delivery Physical Media (DTF-2) Data nodes JAXA’s Data Flow Concept • Data Nodes • Distribute the L0, L1 and higher data to the customers • Archive the L0 data for at least 5 years • Generate and archive the L1 data • Direct reception for near-real-time (NRT) access 3
Status • Status of ALOS -- Overall very good. Satellite systems are healthy and operating properly. Enough fuel on board to support over 5 year mission life. Sensors performing well. • Processors -- JAXA processors continue to be fine tuned to provide better radiometry and geolocation. Results have improved steadily from launch. • ASF Downlinking -- Downlink system is performing well and test downlinks of AVNIR-2 and PALSAR have been completed. In final stages of validation of ASF L0 products with JAXA. Should be complete by end of November.
