ADEOS II ( English ad vanced E arth O bserving S atellit , Japaneseみどり-II, even Midori II ) is an Earth observation satellite, the Japanese Space Agency NASDA , to a launcher of the type H-IIA on 14 December 2002 by the Tanegashima Space Center from on brought an 800 km high sun-synchronous orbit . The launch mass was 3.68 tons, the electrical output of its solar panels 6 kilowatts. A solar storm on October 23, 2003 put the $ 630 million satellite into an idle state due to a fault in the solar panels, during which both the observation instruments were switched off and contact with the earth was broken. All attempts to generate the telemetry data failed.
