Establishment of precise determination of station positions
Station motion mechanism by ocean and atmosphere loadings and plate motions
Star formation mechanism and evolution with observations of 3-dimensional gas dynamics
Mechanism of evoled star gas outflow with observations of 3-dimensional gas dynamics
System developments for more sensitive and precise VLBI observations
Highly sensitive VLBI observations with Japan domestic VLBI stations ( Japanese VLBI network)
Organization of East Asis VLBI network with Korea and China
