NASDA to JKSC
What: S-band range and range-rate data received at JKSC is made available to the NASDA navigation group, who in turn provide a predicted orbit which is used at JKSC to track the spacecraft. (NASDA also supply orbit determination results as a back-up for the ISAS OD results.)
How: The ASCII text files are named YYMMDDHHMMSS.onp, where the time is when NASDA make the file available.
When: NASDA will supply their results weekly.
Where: The NASDA orbit will be placed in subdirectory /vsop/oddata/predict/nasda on the VSOG FTP site.
