A e-mail from ILRS said that CHANG CHUN observatory had caught the ETS-8 satellite.

this message No.8577 dicates that changchun obserbatory had gotten four passes data

of ETS-8 satellite.

ETS-8 satellite is a staionary one which belongs Japan.

Months ago, i introduced it in my chinese blog.

Mission Objectives:

The purpose of Engineering Test Satellite-8 (ETS-8/ETS-VIII) is to support development, experimentation and confirmation of large satellite bus technology, large-scale deployable antenna technology, mobile satellite communications system technology, mobile satellite digital multimedia broadcasting system technology and basic positioning technology using high-accuracy time standard devices. Launch of ETS-8 into geostationary orbit from the H-IIA launch vehicle occurred in December 2006. JAXA plans to conduct a time synchronization experiment for future positioning satellite technology, including a time synchronization experiment and time management using atomic clock onboard a ETS-8. The main objectives of this test satellite system are:

• Large satellite bus technology
• Large-scale deployable antenna technology
• Mobile satellite communications system technology
• Basic positioning technology

Mission Instrumentation:

ETS-8 as the following instrumentation onboard:

1. Large-scale deployable reflector
2. High-power transponder
3. On-board processor
4. High accuracy clock
5. Laser retroreflector array
