Abstract

After launching the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) with three earth observing instruments (PRISM, AVNIR-2, PALSAR) on January 24th, 2006, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has completed an initial spacecraft checkout for three and half months and started initial Calibration and Validation activities for coming five months. In parallel, JAXA has been checking the ALOS ground data system. The initial check-out results of its mission operation planning and data acquisition, processing and distribution functions are summarized.
