ASNARO-2 (Ka LP-M) is an earth observation satellite from the Japanese company Japan Space Systems (JSS) and the second in a series of experimental earth observation satellites.
It was on January 17, 2018 21:06:11 UTC with an Epsilon - carrier rocket from the rocket launch site Uchinoura Space Center in a Sun-synchronous brought orbit. The acronym ASNARO stands for "New System Architecture for Observation". The mission follows ASNARO-1 , an electro-optical earth observation satellite that was launched in November 2014 with a Dnepr rocket in Russia.
The three-axis stabilized satellite is a imaging radar equipped called XSAR ( "Synthetic Aperture Radar"), the different in three modes in X-band range works and is able, in the Spotlight mode surface details in the earth or with a size of less than one meter per pixel with a swath width of 10 km. In ScanSAR mode , a resolution of less than 16 m and a swath width of 50 km are achieved. The two solar generators deliver 1.3 kilowatts of electrical power at the end of the satellite's life. ASNARO-2 was built on the basis of the NEXTAR-NX-300L satellite bus from NEC and has a planned service life of 5 years. The attitude control is done by four 3-Newton hydrazine engines with a fuel supply of 45 kg.
