Fig.1. Microsatellite under test in Josaphat Laboratory (April 21, 2010)
Josaphat Laboratory held a wave propagation measurement for microsatellite
of Weathernews and Axelspace Corporation on April 21, 2010. Center for
Environmental Remote Sensing, Chiba University has an Donation Project
with Weathernews until FY2010 to promote some researchs including microsatellite
development.

span 6 meters.
Now Josaphat Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory is developing the large
scale Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with fixed wing length about 6 meter
and body length about 5 meter. This UAV will onboard the circularly polarized
synthetic aperture radar (CP-SAR), GPS-SAR sensor, near real time camera
system etc for various experiments of future Earth observation sensors.
We hope our sensors could be employed for monitoring of disaster, ocean,
cryosphere, agriculature, desert etc by using circularly polarized microwave.
In this experiments, we will investigate some experiment on circularly
polarized wave scattering, InSAR and DInSAR, axial ratio image etc.
Fig. 4. JSPS JENESYS programme to promote the disaster mitigation techniques using the microwave sensor and ground observations for young scientist from Southeast and South Asian (India, Malaysia, and Indonesia). This programme also to strengthen the young scientist network in our education and research fields. This programme is supported by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in October 1, 2009 to September 2010.

radar development |
The students of Seigakuin Junior High School visited Josaphat Microwave
Remote Sensing Laboratory to collect the information relating remote sensing
field for preparation to decide University for their future. Our students
and staffs explained to them relating anechoic chamber, aircraft and microsatellite
onboard synthetic aperture radar, and applications of InSAR and DInSAR
for land deformation monitoring.
