Description
This document reports the assessment results for GOSAT-2 Mission.
GOSAT-2 is a Japanese mission which was launched on October 29, 2018. The experiences
gained from the operation of the GOSAT-1 mission with regard to payload calibration and validation
activities served as input for the requirements of the GOSAT-2 mission. GOSAT-2 is equipped with
two sensors: the Thermal and Near-infrared Sensor for Carbon Observation (TANSO)-Fourier
Transform Spectrometer 2 (FTS-2) and the TANSO-Cloud and Aerosol Imager 2 (CAI-2). The FTS-
2 is a Fourier transform spectrometer with along and cross track pointing mechanism. It observes
the sun light reflected by the Earth’s surface or scattered by clouds or aerosols (NIR and SWIR
bands) and the thermal emission from both the Earth’s surface and the atmosphere. Additionally
to the spectral coverage of GOSAT, its successor GOSAT-2 includes the 2.3 μm band with CO,
H2O, and CH4 absorption bands.
