Japan launched today the BS-2A (Broadcasting Satellite) from Tanegashima. The apogee kick motor (AKM) firing occurred successfully on January 26 at 12:14 a.m. EST. Under NASA's Space Tracking and Data Net-work (STDN) support for Japan, the STDN would provide continuous coverage for 30 hours after AKM firing and contingency support for another 30 days. STDN support to BS-2A had been nominal to date. Launch and early orbit support was provided by the STDN on a cost-reimbursable basis. (NASA Dly Act Rept, Jan 30/84; GSFC SSR)
