The Japanese Earth Resources Satellite (1) was launched in 1992 by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (called at the time NASDA). It carried three instruments - an L-band (HH polarization) synthetic aperture radar (SAR), a nadir pointing optical camera (OPS), and a side looking optical camera (AVNIR). This satellite operated until 1998, and re-entered the Earth's atmosphere in 2000.
