Abstract
Abstract Marine Observation Satellite 1 (MOS‐1) was successfully launched from Tanegashima Space Center, NASDA by N‐II launch vehicle at 10:23 JST (1:23 UT) on February 19, 1987. The MOS‐1 has 4 mission instruments: (1) Multi‐Spectral Electronic Self Scanning Radiometer (MESSR), (2) Visible and Thermal Infrared Radiometer (VTIR), (3) Microwave Scanning Radiometer (MSR) and (4) Data Collection System Transponder (DCST). All mission instruments were found to be satisfactory during mission check period (three months after the launch) though there was interference problem in DCS due to the outer radio interference source which was resolved by changing the frequency of Data Collection Platform (DCP). NASDA planned and initiated MOS‐1 Verification Program (MVP) to evaluate MOS‐1 observation system since March, 1987. NASDA is conducting MVP in collaboration with joint research organizations, domestic and foreign organizations. As a part of the MVP, NASDA conducted airborne experiments in summer and winter in sev...
