 | | The French space agency, CNES, has therefore developed the POLDER (POLarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectances) instrument, to be flown on ADEOS (ADvanced Earth Observation Satellite), developed by the Japanese space agency, NASDA. |
 | | A second, identical instrument is to be flown on ADEOS-2, successor to ADEOS, in 1999. |
 | | It will ensure the continuity of the POLDER mission over a significantly long period from a climate point of view. |
