The 10th Research Announcement (RA) Issued

The Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite "GOSAT" (nicknamed “IBUKI”) was successfully launched on January 23, 2009 and it has since been in operation to observe greenhouse gases.

As part of the GOSAT Project, RAs have to date been issued nine times, and many promising research outcomes have been reported from the RA researchers. Aiming to facilitate scientific use of the GOSAT data by creative researchers with new perspectives, the promoters of the GOSAT Project, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE), invite research proposals for the RAs at any time during the project period. 1 We encourage you to submit your applications and original research proposals.

1 Although applications are always being accepted, deadlines for review and selection by the GOSAT RA Selection and Evaluation Committee are set at regular intervals. The deadline for the 10th RA application is March 15, 2016.
