Japan's National Space Development Agency and NASA signed a contract for launch of three Japanese geosynchronous satellites in 1977 and 1978. NASA would launch the satellites on a Delta launch vehicle on a cost-reimbursable basis.
The satellites-GMS, a meteorological satellite; CS, an experimental medium-capacity comsat; and BS, an experimental medium-scale broadcast satellite-would participate in the worldwide Global Atmospheric Research Project (GARP) sponsored by the United Nations World Meteorological Organization.
