Usuda Deep Space Center is a facility of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency[1] It is a spacecraft tracking station

opened in October, 1984. The main feature of the station is a 64-meter beam waveguide antenna.[2]

Usuda was the first deep-space antenna constructed with beam-waveguide technology. Although this construction dramatically simplifies installation and maintenance of electronics, it was previously thought to offer poor noise performance.[3] However, after the U.S. Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) tested this antenna and found the noise performance was better than its conventional 64-meter antennas,[4] it too switched to this method of construction for all subsequent antennas of their Deep Space Network (DSN).

Similar huge antennas are used by the deep space networks of the USA, China, Russia, Europe, and India.

Because the 64 meter antenna is getting old, JAXA is building a new antenna nearby. This antenna will be slightly smaller (54 meters in diameter) but have better surface accuracy and hence be capable of working at the higher Ka-band frequencies. This will increase the potential data throughput despite the smaller size.[5]

Public Access Classification

  • General public: Observation of exterior installation and access to exhibition room
  • Special access: None specified. (An explanation of the UDSC communications are conducted during special public access events conducted by Sagamihara Campus.
  • Research Utilization: National Cooperative Research Institute, National University Cooperative Research Institute, International Cooperative Research Institute (access via the Space Sciences Research Institute)
