Description
Summary:The semi-polar orbital and the polar aeronomy observation satellite "EXOS-D", will be launched in February 1989 by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science. The National Institute of Polar Research is planning to carry out coordinated ground and satellite observations by real-time EXOS-D data aquisition. In this paper, the size of a 10-meter dish which is determined by the results of the network analysis on the EXOS-D orbit data of 10000km apogee, and various technical conditions when it is constructed at Syowa Station are described. By the construction of this new 10-meter dish antenna at Syowa Station, it will become possible for us to track and observe not only the EXOS-D but also LANDSAT, MOS and other remote sensing satellites. And if it is used as one point in a VLBI system, a precise measurement of the global continental drift will be made.
