ALOS-2 ScanSAR data to be made freely available

[panjibrotoisworo]

I think I got it working but my internet speed right now is very slow. So I cannot verify the output yet. Let me know if there is any wrong steps.

1. Go to GPortal Search
2. Select ALOS-2 Spacecraft
   
   
3. Set date and AOI filter
4. In the “List of search results”, you have to scroll the window to the right to be able to see the download button. This is not very obvious and it is easy to miss this.
   
   
5. In the download page, press “Order” to finalize
   
   
6. Once it is done. You will get an e-mail on the access details via SFTP. You can use the terminal in Windows. Here is a sample of an e-mail.
