Abstract
With its successful launch on June 26, 2010, the Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is currently in the early stage of normal operation for the service to the end users, exhibiting exciting and fruitful performances including the image data from the two on-board optical sensors, Meteorological Imager (MI) and Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI), and the experimental Ka-band telecommunication. This chapter gives a comprehensive overview of COMS in terms of its key design characteristics, current status of in-orbit performances and its implied role in the geostationary remote sensing, and discusses its potential application and contribution to the world remote sensing community.
