Fuji observed by the Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping (PRISM) Three observation sensors aboard the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) "Daichi" successfully observed Mt. Fuji, Shimizu Port and Tanegashima Island as part of the initial functional verification test. Please refer to the ALOS New-Arrived Images page. Explanation of the image: Satellite: Advanced Land Observing Satellite(ALOS)(Daichi) Sensor : Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping(PRISM) Date: February 14, 2006(JST) The PRISM is an optical sensor for observing visible terrain areas with a 2.5-meter spatial resolution. It has three independent optical systems to acquire terrain data including altitude data so that images for nadir, forward, and backward views can be acquired at the same time. This enables us to get three-dimensional terrain data with a high accuracy and frequency.
