We re-consider details of QZS-1 tracking campaign. We would like to modify our plan. We hope to extend QZS-1 tracking campaign, that is, Period (old) From 30/Nov. To 7/Dec. --> (new) Extend 10 days From 30/Nov. To 17/Dec. Core Time (old) 9:00 -- 9:20 (UT) 12:00 -- 12:20 (UT) 15:00 -- 15:20 (UT) 18:00 -- 18:20 (UT) 21:00 -- 21:20 (UT) -->(new) Extend to daylight tracking, Try 4 hours interval, 0:00 -- 0:20 (UT) 4:00 -- 4:20 (UT) 8:00 -- 8:20 (UT) 12:00 -- 12:20 (UT) 16:00 -- 16:20 (UT) 20:00 -- 20:20 (UT). We will distribute enough CPF for above tracking campaign. Please accept/permit our plan. We are very happy to perform QZS-1 tracking campaign with ILRS WPLTN Colleagues. I promise that we will report our results on next ILRS workshop.
