Title
The Orbital Checkout Status Of The Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar On The Global Precipitation Measurement Core Spacecraft
Abstract
The Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) installed on the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) core satellite was developed by JAXA and NICT. This paper describes mission objectives, technical performance, resource allocation, design, proto-flight test (PFT) of the DPR instrument, satellite system test including launch operations and orbital check out results of the DPR. The DPR system PFT has completed in February 2012. DPR has handed over to NASA and integration of the DPR to the GPM core spacecraft have completed in May 2012. GPM core spacecraft satellite system test has completed at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. GPM core observatory was shipped to JAXA Tanegashima Space Center, JAPAN and Launch Site Operations has completed. GPM core observatory was successfully launched by H-IIA launch vehicle on Feb 28, 2014. DPR orbital check out had started in March 2014 and it was completed in May 2014. The orbital check out results of DPR is reported in this paper.
