The Global Change Observation Mission (GCOM) is planned to be a comprehensive observation system of the Earth System's essential variables of atmosphere, ocean, land, cryosphere, and ecosystem. Most of these observations are expected to provide data that is commonly useful to climate research and meteorology. Additionally, the mission is designed to discover the traces of human-induced environmental changes, such as deforestation, forest fires, and air and water quality changes in order to distinguish between human-induced changes and natural cyclic changes. GCOM will take over the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-II (ADEOS-II) mission and transition into long-term monitoring of the Earth.

To achieve global, comprehensive, long-term, homogeneous observation, GCOM will consist of two satellite types and three consecutive generations, each with a one-year overlap, resulting in an observation period of over a 13 years. The two satellites are GCOM-W (Water) and GCOM-C (Climate). The GCOM-W1 satellite will carry the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) to contribute to scientific understanding of the global water and energy cycles. The GCOM-C1 satellite will be equipped with the Second-generation Global Imager (SGLI) to observe the Earth's atmosphere and surface in order to contribute to scientific understanding of the carbon cycle and radiation budget.
