Abstract

A precipitation radar (PR) has been developed by the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) in cooperation with the Communication Research Laboratory (CRL). The PR was integrated into the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite and TRMM satellite system testing is ongoing by NASA. Throughout the various tests of PR it was confirmed that the PR satisfies its requirements.
