Sanriku Balloon Center has been equipped with new balloon tracking and receiving facilities. A new tracking antenna, with a diameter of 3.6m, is placed at Ohkubo-yama, at a height of 826m above sea level. The tracking from Ohkubo-yama has significantly improved the balloon tracking range, especially for the north direction. The Ohkubo-yama station and the SBC main building in the launching field are connected each other by microwave links and optical-fiber links, utilizing the SBC receiving station as a relay terminal. Balloon trajectory monitor, telecommand transmission, and telemetry data reception are carried out in the SBC main building. The Ohkubo-yama station is operated by remote controls.
