List the networks/programs for which you correlate data.  KSP, K-4 experiments

Indicate correlator capacity:  Number of baselines  6  
                               Number of stations  4   
                               Number of playback units  4 
Hours of operation per week   168 hours (56 hours : operator attended, 
                              112 hours : no operator)

Number of full-time-equivalent personnel assigned to correlator functions:  2

Percentage of time correlator is used: geodesy/astrometry 100%  other (list):
Percentage of total correlator capacity that is unused  80%

Internet connection type or bit rate: 6Mbps   Data storage capacity: 36Gbyte

Data Center(s) you use:  Communications Research Laboratory

Describe any planned facility upgrades.

Indicate which of the following IVS Correlator functions you perform and 
explain briefly how you will provide them:
     X  Receive, process, and archive VLBI data : routinely performing in the 
        Key Stone Project VLBI Network
     X  Provide timely feedback to stations : routinely performing in the Key 
        Stone Project VLBI Network
     X  Maintain community tape pool : routinely performing in the Key Stone 
        Project VLBI Network
     X  Make data available to the Analysis Centers : functions of analysis 
        and data centers are realized in an integrated system. Compare 
        processing techniques, models, and outputs

Attach a list of personnel (names and titles) whom you designate as IVS 
Associate Members through their affiliation with your correlator.

Hitoshi Kiuchi  Research Scientist, Space and Time Measurements Section, 
                Standards and Measurements Division
Kouichi Sebata  Technical Official, Key Stone Project Team
Masato Furuya   Research Scientist, Key Stone Project Team
Tetsuro Kondo   Chief Research Scientist, Kashima Space Research Center
Mamoru Sekido   Research Scientist, Radio Astronomy Applications Section, 
                Kashima Space Research Center


Please provide any other information that you feel will be helpful in 
demonstrating your correlator's capabilities to participate in the IVS. 
If you proposed to the IERS in 1995/6 as a correlator facility and wish 
to have that proposal carry over to the IVS, please make such a statement 
in this proposal. 

Your signature on this form indicates your agreement to participate in the 
IVS as a Correlator and to cooperate with the IVS Coordinating Center and 
with the IVS Coordinators. If this is a new proposal (i.e. not carried over 
from IERS) your signature commits your organization to participate in the IVS.

Name of person signing:	Yoji Furuhama
Title: Director General, Communications Research Laboratory
