Japanese land and marine observing satellite “ALOS” became un-communicatable in April 2011

(Before It's News)

According to JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), their land and marine observing satellite “ALOS (The Advanced Land Observing Satellite)” had an abnormality in their power system and became “un-communicatable” on 4/22/2011, about one month after 311.

It was launched in 2006 mainly to monitor the disaster damage by Tsunami, earthquake and typhoons.

The ALOS was to perform digital elevation mapping, precise land coverage observation, and day-and-night and all-weather land observation with high speed and large capacity mission data handling technology and the latter is the precision spacecraft position and attitude determination capability.

JAXA states the expected product life was 5 years, but the succession satellite “ALOS-2″ has not been launched yet though it has been over 2 years since they lost ALOS.

On 7/2/2013, Fukushima Diary posted “Kyoto university found 311 triggered subsidence in 5 volcanos in eastern Japan, “magma reservoir was stretched” [URL]”

The data obtained by ALOS was used for their research.
