Japanese mission stretches limits of interferometry
Article Abstract:
Japan's MUSES-B satellite, scheduled for launch Feb 7, 1997, is a very long base interferometry (VLBI) antenna. By combining its signal with those of other orbiting and ground-based antennae, it will act as a synthetic- aperture radio telescope with a collecting area larger than the earth.

Deficit reduction nicks science funding
Article Abstract:
Recommendations from the Fiscal Structure Reform Council on reducing Japan's budget deficit are likely to postpone the new Basic Plan on Science and Technology. The report also favors the delay of several big-science programs, including the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor.
