Geoscience Australia is no longer a distributor of imagery from the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS). A five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) granted Geoscience Australia the data distribution rights for Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the South Pacific Islands. This MOU expired in December 2010, consequently no new ALOS data is available from Geoscience Australia.
