The Marine Observation Satellite-1 (MOS-1), Japan's first earth observation satellite, was successfully launched by N-2 Launch Vehicle from Tanegashima Space Center, NASDA (National Space Development Agency of Japan) on February 19, 1987. MOS-1 has four mission instruments: MESSR (Multispectral Electronic Self-Scanning Radiometer); VTIR (Visible and Thermal Infrared Radiometer); and DCST (Data Collection System Transponder). MOS-1 is a multipurpose satellite which can observe ocean, land, and atmosphere in wavelengths covering visible, near-infrared, thermal infrared, and microwave. The main objectives of MOS-1 are to establish fundamental earth observation technology and to observe ocean, land, and atmosphere by three radiometers and collect ocean data by DCS (Data Collection System). In order to achieve the mission objectives, NASDA developed space and ground segments. In order to evaluate MOS-1 observation system from various points of view, NASDA planned the MOS-1 Verification Program (MVP) and conducted MVP in collaboration with domestic and foreign investigators. In this paper, the outline of MOS-1 project, the outline of activity of MVP, and overall results obtained during these two years are presented.
