Current Status of ASTRO-G Satellite development –Current master schedule is based on the launch scheduled to be 2013 January/February –We are now Basic Design Phase... (Phase -B). –Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for earlier development subsystems (Antenna, KaANT, Structure, Thruster, Cryostat) have finished March 13, PDR of all system will be scheduled in March –Mechanical and thermal mathematical model are made, and the checking the system based on the model is on going. –Engineering Model of Horn to LNA was tested at ISAS till February.

Current Status of ASTRO-G (Continued) Ground Facilities Some Unknown factors –Tracking station Usuda and Yebes (Spain)? now. One more? –Ground Radio Telescopes EAVN, EVN, Australia, VLBA(?) & US, S.Africa (?), … Japanese activities, (JVN upgrade for VSOP-2). Science Support –Correlators KJJVC, and others (Software correlators ?) International Collaborations –VISC-2 December, –Submit space VLBI proposal to US Decadal Survey
