Introduction of MTSAT-1R
The Multi-functional Transport Satellite
 Fulfills two functions:
a meteorological function by the JMA and
an aviation control function by the Japanese civil
aviation authority
Operational since  Succeeds GMS-5, covering East Asia and the Western
Pacific (as the sixth geostationary meteorological
28 June 2005
satellite of Japan)
 Data Collection System (DCS) is one of the main functions of
MTSAT-1R that collects and distributes in-situ observational
data obtained with automatic surface stations (Data Collection
Platforms; DCPs), such as an automatic weather station at a remote
site, or a tide (tsunami) gauge, or an instrumented ship/island.
Almost 100 thousand data are being collected a month.
 MTSAT-DCS has sufficient capacity to collect more tsunami data
so far.
Preliminary Information of the Follow-on MTSAT series
satellites Named Himawari-8/-9
 JMA has made a contract for the manufacture of the follow-on
meteorological satellites named Himawari-8/-9.
 The Agency plans to launch Himawari-8 in 2014 and begin its
operation in 2015. To ensure the robustness of the satellite system,
the launch of a second follow-on satellite (Himawari-9) for in-orbit
standby is also scheduled in 2016.
 Himawari-8/-9 will be continued to operate around 140 degrees east
covering the East Asia and the Western Pacific as with the MTSAT
series.
 General objectives ;
- Dedicated satellite for meteorological function
- Observation mission: Advanced Himawari Imager
- Data Collection System Mission
JMA will continue the Data Collection System
service with Himawari-8/-9, maintaining
fundamentally the same specifications
as those of the MTSAT series.

Note: The communication range of Hiamwari-8/-9 is same as MTSAT-DCS.

Remarks
There are some constraints to MTSAT-DCS:
 Limited number of channels
---> JMA will coordinate with relevant countries
and organizations, taking into account of the
number of available channels and the latest
needs of countries, for optimal solution
 Reliability is not necessarily 100%
---> Considering the above nature of MTSAT-DCS,
it is better to collect tsunami data jointly with
other methods; i.e. simultaneous data
collection through landline and via
MTSAT-DCS
is recommended
