Evaluation of Radiometric Performance of Mos-1/mos-lb Messr
K. Maeda, M. Nakai · 2005
MOS-l(Marine Observation Satellite-1) and MOS-lb were launched from Tanegashima Space Center,NASDA on Feb.19,1987 and Feb.7,1990, respectively. MOS1 has four mission instruments :MESSR (Multispectral Electronic Self-scanning Radiometer), VTIR(Visib1e and Thermal-Infrared Radiometer), MSR(Microwave Scanning Radiometer) and Data Collection System Transponder (DCST). The MESSR has two systems; each system has two telescopes. Radiometric performance of the MESSR has been evaluated by using uniform ocean area and verification experiment. Some results of radiometric characteristics of MOS-l/MOS-lb MESSR are presented.
