Abstract
Since the successful launch of Marine Observation Satellite-1 (MOS-1) in 1987, the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) has been operating, developing, and planning Earth observation satellite programs. Looking to the 1990s, our primary concern is the “Global Change.” NASDA is now developing the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite-1 (ERS-1) and the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS). These will be followed by Japanese Polar Orbiting Platform (JPOP). In addition, NASDA is now conducting the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) in cooperation with NASA. Other countries have their own Earth observing programs for 1990s. All the Earth observing programs are summarized in Table 1.
