The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) would like to announce
that image data was successfully acquired by the Panchromatic Remote-
sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping (PRISM) onboard the Advanced
Land Observing Satellite “Daichi,” which was launched on January 24,
2006 (Japan Standard Time, JST). The data was acquired as part of the
initial functional verification test.
The images of Mt. Fuji and Shimizu Port in Shizuoka Prefecture were both observed by the PRISM at 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 14 (JST), and later received at the Earth Observation Center (in Hatoyama-cho, Hiki-gun, Saitama Pref.)
This sensor can acquire high-resolution three directional 3-D data, marking a world first for an earth observation satellite data.
