KAGUYA ODDS

We introduce a new content from Lunar and Planetary Science division, KAGUYA ODDS.

ODDS (Orbital Data Distribution System) is a service to provide tracking information powered by JAXA's Consolidated Space Tracking & Data Acquisition Department (CST-DAD). The purpose of ODDS is mainly to provide the tracking information under operation, and the service basically is stopped after the project termination, such as KAGUYA mission.

ODDS has an excellent visual-interface. From the point of view of the scientific utilization, ODDS application starts again together with CST-DAD.

The figure shows an example from ODSS "Lunar Map", featuring orbits of satellites on the Moon in a day. Please enjoy our new service.
