Global Climate Change National Safety Disaster Risks &Security Management
Global Monitoring Satellites High Resolution Satellites
GOSAT, GCOM-W and GCOM-C Series Missions; GPM and EarthCARE ALOS Series Missions Challenge: Continuity and sustainability of earth observations ⇒ JAXA proposes series of missions under the following conditions. • Establishment of an institutional framework to assure continuity of data provision. • Cost-reduction of satellite development and operations. • Research and development of innovative sensor technologies. JAXA EO Strategy
• The “Unified Climate Change Program” will focus on (a) Green House Gases observation, (b) Global Satellite Precipitation Map (GSMaP), (C) Global Forest Monitoring. • JAXA will promote related activities through cooperation with CEOS. JAXA Cooperation with CEOS
