AADN

With the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA’s) launch of the Advanced Land Observation Satellite (ALOS) in January 2006, a new era of L band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) began. The Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) operates the Americas ALOS Data Node (AADN) under a Joint Project Agreement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) downlinking, processing, distributing, and archiving ALOS data. As the AADN, ASF has partnered with many organizations to ensure the widest, most-effective distribution of these data.
