Development of VLBI stations dedicated to the KSP, which monitors crustal deformation around the Tokyo metropolitan area with a space geodetic technique, started in FY1993. Three of four VLBI stations have already been completed construction. Daily observations on the baseline between Kashima and Koganei have been carried out since January 1995. The last one will be constructed during this fiscal year. Current timetable of development of each KSP station is as follows.
