ADEOS 2 has a mass of 3680 kg. Size 6 x 4 x 4m, 28 m span, Irreg + 1 panel. GLI will have 36 bands, 1 km res. AMSR has 10 km res at high freq. This was the first launch since MHI took over launch operations from NASDA on Nov 20. Communications with the satellite failed in Oct 2003, almost exactly the same interval after launch as the ADEOS-1 failure.
