Construction of a VGOS Station in Japan
Abstract
The Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI) began a new project for constructing a VGOS station in Japan. The construction of the antenna (radio telescope) has been completed, and the necessary equipment (Front-end, Back-end, H-maser, and so on) has also been delivered. The name of the new station is Ishioka, which is located 17 km away from the Tsukuba 32-m antenna. We briefly report the current status of the construction of the new antenna.
