The National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) received on September 1, 1996, at its Earth Observation Center in Hatoyama, Saitama Pref., the first image taken using the multi-spectrum band of a Earth observing sensor called the Advanced Visible and Near-infrared Radiometer or AVNIR aboard a remote sensing satellite ADEOS.
The image is of Kagoshima Pref., a southern part of Japan. ADEOS took it using the pointing function of AVNIR at 11:38 am JST when the satellite was flying about 800km above the East China Sea. The image is about 80km wide.
This image acquisition was a part of AVNIR checkouts which include image acquisition by the panchromatic band and calibration of equipment. JAXA continues the checkouts regarding the ground segments as well as those in space.
