>The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) would like to announce
>that image data was successfully acquired by the Advanced Visible and
>Near Infrared Radiometer type-2 (AVNIR-2) onboard the Advanced Land
>Observing Satellite "Daichi," which was launched on January 24, 2006
>(Japan Standard Time, JST.)  The data was acquired as part of the
>initial functional verification test.
>
>The attached image of the Tanegashima area was observed by the AVNIR-2
>at 10:50 a.m. on Feb. 17 (JST), and later received at the Earth
>Observation Center (in Hatoyama-cho, Hiki-gun, Saitama Pref.)
>
>The Daichi is the only satellite that can perform high resolution
>observations of one specific area with both light and radio frequency
>by using both the Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type 2
>(AVNIR-2) and the Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Rader
>(PALSER) simultaneously.  Through this ability, it can identify the
>earth's surface more precisely.
