1963年11月23日午前5時27分にリレー1号衛星を用いたアメリカからの公開テレビ伝送実験がKDD茨城宇宙通信実験所で行われた。同日午前8時58分「ケネディ大統領暗殺」を伝える衝撃的なニュースを受信することになり、日本の国際衛星通信は劇的な幕開けとなった。 近年の光ファイバーネットワーク網の充実など通信環境変化にともない、KDDIは衛星通信の運用体制を縮小し、業務を山口県山口市のKDDI山口衛星通信センターに集約中 住所 茨城県高萩市石滝字呉坪650 KDDI株式会社茨城衛星通信センター |

The Nobeyama Radio Observatory (NRO) is a division of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) under the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS). NRO operates powerful, advanced radio telescopes such as the 45 m radio telescope, the Nobeyama Millimeter Array (NMA), and the Nobeyama Radioheliograph. A large number of scientists from around the world visit NRO to use these telescopes for researches in astronomy and astrophysics. Maintenance, upgrades, and new technical innovations are ceaselessly made all year round. | |||||||||||||||||

The main facility is a large parabolic antenna (64m-dia., 1980t.). X-band communications (8 GHz) are used for with deep space probes, while S-band (2 GHz) and X-band (for receiving only) are used for other probes. In addition to the Center, only NASA (U.S.A.), ESA (Europe), and IKI (Russia) own parabolic mirrors of this size. |

At the dawn of space aeronautics in the 20th century, three organizations were established in Japan: The Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), which was devoted to space and planetary research; the National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan (NAL), which focused on research and development of next-generation aviation; and the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA), which was responsible for development of large-size launch vehicles, as represented by H-IIA, satellites, and the International Space Station. | |||||||||||||||||

The main role of this Station is to track and control satellites. After receiving telemetry from satellites, it checks their location, altitude, and instrument functions. It also sends commands to satellites as required, in order to maintain and control them. Besides four parabolic antennas, two 18m, one 13m, and one 10m, there are also tracking and control building, electric building, and Nonozuka collimation building. Visitors can control one of the 18m antennas. |

Arecibo / Puer to Rico. It is known for the nearby world-famous Arecibo Observatory, which boasts the largest single telescope ever constructed. While the
observatory exists to support scientific studies, a number of Hollywood movies have been filmed there, most
recently GoldenEye and
Contact. The Arecibo telescope is distinguished by its enormous size; the main collecting dish is 305 m in diameter, constructed inside the depression left by a karst sinkhole. The dish is the largest curved focusing dish on Earth, giving Arecibo the largest electromagnetic-wave gathering capacity. The Arecibo telescope's dish surface is made of 38,778 perforated aluminium panels, each measuring about 1 m by 2 m (3 ft by 6 ft), supported by a mesh of steel cables. |

スピニング加工(へら絞り加工)とは,回転する成形型(マンドレル)に板状や管状の丸切りした金属素材(ブランク)を加工ローラやへらで押し付けて成形する塑性(そせい)加工の一手法である.金属を材料とするシェル状の製品の成形加工法として,家庭用容器,装飾工芸品,照明器具,パラボラアンテナ,ボイラ,タンク,ロケット・航空機のノズル,エンジン部品などの部品・製品の製造に広く用いられている.この加工法は熟練作業者による高度なものづくりの技能としても近年注目され,例えばH2ロケットの先端カバーなどがこうした手作業(へら絞り)によって製作されたことが広く知られている. |
