SMILES Research Announcement (Closed)

JAXA has released Research Announcement (RA) in May 2009, in regard to Superconducting Submillimeter-Wave Limb-Emission Sounder attached to Japanese Experimental Module (JEM/SMILES) which operated from September 2009 to April 2010 focusing on calibration and validation of its observation data, and these research themes below were accepted in August 2009. Currently, JAXA has no plan to release the new RA. Please refer these documents below about the details of past RA just for your information. Please check out the Material page for more information about SMILES mission.
