If applying as a Special Analysis Center, describe type(s) of analysis you will
perform. If applying as a Global Analysis Center, describe the global analysis
you will perform. Indicate your specific analysis interests and describe how you
select the data you analyze.
 -Scientific analysis center: data collection, data analysis, software 
  development and dissemination of results
Describe the computer hardware configuration and the software package(s) you
  use for analysis:
 -Same as given in the IERS proposal
Describe any planned facility upgrades.
 -No
Number of full-time-equivalent personnel assigned to analysis center functions: 
 2 to 3
Indicate which data center(s) you use: NASA/CDDIS

Indicate which of the following IVS Analysis Center functions you will perform
  and explain briefly how you will perform them:
 -Adhere to IERS conventions

Attach a list of personnel (names and titles) whom you designate as IVS
  Associate Members through their affiliation with your station: 
   Prof. Dr. Seiji MANABE and Mr. Yoshiaki TAMURA(Staff, Earth Rotation
   Division, NAOJ)

Please provide any other information that you fell will be helpful in
  demonstrating your station's capabilities to participate in the IVS. If you
  proposed to the IERS in 1995/6 as a radio telescope observatory and wish to
  have that proposal carry over to the IVS, please make such a statement in this
  proposal.
 -We have proposed to the IERS in 1996 as a scientific analysis center. This
   proposal to the IVS is essentially the same as that.

Your signature on this form indicates your agreement to participate in the IVS as
a Network Station, to comply with IVS performance standards fro data quality
and operational reliability, and to work closely with the IVS Network and
Technology Coordinators. If this is a new proposal (i.e. not carried over from
IERS) your signature commits your organization to participate in the IVS.
