Research and Development on New Optical Remote Sensing Methodologies

Operation simulation results of the Hyperspectral Imager SUIte (HISUI) onboard the International Space Station. The color shows the number of times (predicted value) that a cloudless image can be acquired. 1 year after the start of observation (upper). 3 years after the start of observation (lower).

We conduct research and development on new types of optical remote sensing which have been developed in recent years, such as continuous spectrum (hyperspectral) remote sensing from the visible to short wavelength infrared region; water depth remote sensing using lidar; high spatial resolution and high frequency remote sensing by small satellites or fixed-point observations; and nighttime atmospheric observations using the Moon.
