This paper describes the satellite tracking station with a 34m diameter antenna that the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) has built at its Kagoshima Space Center for tracking of Earth-orbiting scientific satellites and deep space probes of ISAS. The features of the new tracking station are: a large antenna with high efficiency at S and X bands, reception of high bit-rate telemetry, polarization-diversity RF signal reception followed by a signal combiner, digitalreceivers, a new PN ranging system, an acquisition antennas system with transmit/receive capability, efficient station operation and satellite operatoin controls, and a Ka-band reception capability of the main antenna. Since the completion in 1998, the station has been operated for the tracking of the Mars explorer NOZOMI in support of the Usuda deep space station of ISAS and for the operations of the scientific satellites YOHKO, GEOTAIL, HALCA, and others.
