| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | EarthCARE/CPR design results and development status The Earth Clouds, Aerosols and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) mission is joint mission between Europe and Japan. Mission objective is to improve scientific understanding of cloud-aerosol-radiation interactions that is one of the biggest uncertain factors for numerical climate and weather predictions. The EarthCARE spacecraft equips four instruments; an ultra violet lidar (ATLID), a cloud profiling radar (CPR), a broadband radiometer (BBR) and a multi-spectral imager (MSI) , for synergistic observation. Japan aerospace exploration agency (JAXA) is responsible for development of the CPR in this mission, under joint cooperation with National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). The CPR will be the first space-borne W-band Doppler radar. Major CPR specifications are; minimum radar sensitivity of -35dBZ, and Doppler velocity measurement accuracy of <1.3m/s. They require highly accurate pointing knowledge in orbit and high power source with large and accurate antenna dish. Additionally a new ground calibration technique to determine CPR pointing is also being progressed towards the launch. Development phase has been completed with tests using engineering model to confirm its compliances of design, performance and reliability. Critical Design Review (CDR) for CPR was held on 2013. Currently, CPR proto-flight model is under manufacturing. The EarthCARE satellite will be launched in 2016. |
