The Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2) is the RADAR satellite which is carrying the state-of-the-art L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) called PALSAR-2 (Phased Array type L-band SAR-2) which succeeds to the PALSAR mounted on ALOS “Daichi”. PALSAR had contributed to various applications such as disaster, deformation, deforestation, agriculture and natural resource monitoring by providing enormous observation data from 2006 to 2011. Therefore, ALOS-2 is expected to continue the ALOS PALSAR mission and its contributions. ALOS-2 was successfully launched by H-IIA rocket from Tanegashima Space Center at 24th May 2014. This paper shows the initial status of PALSAR-2 after launch.
