超低高度衛星技術の風向・風速観測ドップラライダミッションへの適用検討

Super low altitude satellites are satellites orbiting at an altitude less than 250km. They are using ion engines to compensate aerodynamic drag at the altitude. To demonstrate the feasibility and the system concept, Super-Low-Altitude-Test-Satellite named as SLATS has been developed by JAXA. In adition, JAXA has been studying a wind observation mission for future acturel uses of the orbit with Meteorological Research Institute(MRI) and National Institute of Information and Communications Technology(NICT). It has been elcidated that the orbit of the super low altitude is suitable for LIDAR(Light direction and ranging) using missioins. This paper shows the results of study for the Doppler LIDAR using mission at the super low altitude.
