Abstract :
ADEOS was successfully launched on August 1996. It carries 8 sensors on board to measure the atmosphere, ocean and land surface for better understanding of global change. The spacecraft and all the 8 sensors on board are functioning well and good scientific results can be expected. Initial calibrations of most of the sensors are finished and performances are the same or better than expected
