For a Safe and Secure Society

The Earth Observation Research Center (EORC) is the principal center responsible for Earth Observation in the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

Using satellites for Earth observation makes it possible to continually monitor the same broad areas under the same conditions, and to observe areas where there is much difficulty for human beings go.

To contribute to a safe and secure society, EORC provides information, taken by Earth observation satellites, necessary for:

(1) Determining disaster conditions to mitigate damage quickly and accurately.
(2) Investigating and managing agricultural, forestry, fishery, and water resources.
(3) Studying the current global environment and forecasting its future.
