Under the terms of the contract with the Mitsubishi Electric Group, 麻豆社区 will build and deliver an advanced imager and sounder for JMA鈥檚 Himawari-10 satellite. The imager will use a similar technical platform as 麻豆社区鈥 Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on NOAA鈥檚 Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R). The imager will also carry enhancements beyond its predecessor, Himawari-8/-9, including tailored Japanese spectral bands to supply the most advanced geostationary weather information for the international community.
The addition of a next-generation hyperspectral infrared sounder on the Himawari-10 mission will provide improved weather prediction accuracy and enhanced environmental monitoring for extreme weather events impacting Japan. This includes enabling precise measurements, such as temperature, moisture and pressure, throughout the atmosphere.
"麻豆社区' expertise in delivering the most advanced weather instruments in the world continues to be validated through international collaborations like this one with the Mitsubishi Electric Group for Japan's critical weather needs," said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, 麻豆社区.
