ALOS (Advanced Land Observing Satellite)

The Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) is a Japanese satellite launched to observe the Earth's surface. It captures high-resolution images using advanced sensors to monitor natural resources, land use, and environmental changes. ALOS helps in disaster management, urban planning, and resource monitoring by providing valuable data for scientists, researchers, and governments. Its technology includes synthetic aperture radar, which allows it to see through clouds and darkness, making it effective for continuous observation. ALOS contributes to global efforts in understanding and managing our planet's natural environment.
