*Date11 March at 2:46 pm, 2011Seismic center Sanriku coast About 130km ESE off Ojika PeninsulaMagnitude : 9.0Tsunami Maximum wave, up to 37.9 Miyako CityDamageAbout 15,000 people were deadOver 10,000 people are missing Over 100,000 houses completely or partially destroyed. Over 120,000 evacuees Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant :Emergency Core Cooling System : Operated but damaged by TSUNAMI. Evacuation : 20km in radius range Rolling Blackout : kannto Region etc. The Great East Japan Earthquake

*The Great East Japan EarthquakeChinese government was quick to announce an emergency aid, and dispatch a rescue mission to Tohoku region. And Chinese government offered a lot of rescue supplies such as tents, blankets, and gasoline.

*Space related activities on the Earthquake JAXA

*Global Navigation Satellite System Quasi-Zenith Satellite System MichibikiCharacteristic/Function : GPS Fully Compatible and Interoperable GPS Augmentation Short messageCoverage : East Asia and Oceania regionSix Signals:L1C/A, L1C, L2C and L5 (Positioning)L1-SAIF (Augmentation) LEX (Augmentation)Launched : September 2010

The H-IIA launch vehicle No.18, which carried the first satellite of the QZSS, MICHIBIKI, was successfully launched from Tanegashima Space Center.

Separation of Michibiki from H-IIA rocket was confirmed 28 minutes 27 seconds after its lift-off.(C)JAXA(C)JAXAMHILaunch Operation of Michibiki*

May 2008 Basic Space Law established

Jun. 2009 Basic Plan for Space Policy decided by the Strategic Headquarters for Space Policy MICHIBIKI launching and its technical verification are provided in the Basic Plan

Back Ground Act & Decisions*

QZSS improves positioning availability timeComplementary signals sent from high elevation will improve the time percentage of positioning availability from 90 % (GPS only) to 99.8 % ( ex : GPS + 3 QZS satellites.)
