• ALOS-2 Satellite
ALOS-2 is a Japanese Earth Observation Satellite equipped with L band surface visualization radar "PALSAR-2" sensor. PALSAR-2 is a Synthetic Aperture Radar that transmits radio waves to the ground surface and receives radio waves reflected from the ground surface to obtain information. Unlike optical sensors, it is capable of observing day and night, and in all weather conditions. It is widely used in various fields such as disaster situation grasping, environmental monitoring, land use survey and resource exploration.

• L-Band
The L band is one of the bands of microwave (frequency: 300MHz to 3THz, wavelength: electromagnetic wave of 0.1m to 1.0mm), representing frequency of 1 to 2GHz and wavelength of 15 to 30cm. L band has a characteristic that radio waves pass through vegetation and part of it reaches the ground surface. Therefore, it is also possible to obtain information on vegetation and the ground surface.
