This experiment is Kochi National College of Technology (KNCT), Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo(ERI),                                                           
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), National Institute of Information and Communications Technology(NICT) and Hitachi Zosen Corporation (Hitz) collaborative research.                                                    

GPS tsunami gauge setting up in Kochi Prefecture Muroto Cape offing.         
This is  send necessary data with First Quasi-Zenith Satellite 「MICHIBIKI」※1,   use Engineering Test Satellite‐VIII「KIKU No.8」※2 and transmit an observation result ashore.
This experiment is aimed for proof of the early-warning system of the tsunami.                                                                   

※1 and ※2 link the explanation of each satellite to the JAXA homepage.                                                              

We can deliver placement to the Japanese sea near the shore to the GPS buoy of the prospective majority at the same time in the future, and the precision calendar
sent to the GPS tsunami gauge by 「MICHIBIKI」※1 is transmitted for broadcasting it.                                                         

The role that 「KIKU No.8」※2 serves as is entrusted to a future "communications satellite helping disaster prevention".
I can install GPS buoy in all positions of the ocean without a limit to detached room bank distance in coverage of the satellite if the data communications using
the satellite line are possible.                                                                     

We will be able to overcome the issues raised clearly by the Great East Japan Earthquake.                                                              

We experiment on the data of the transmission for 15-21 days in 1-8 days in June, 2014.
