Who is the operator of a space-based radionavigation system which is the base of the QZSS?
Quasi-Zenith Satellite System The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) is a three-satellite regional time transfer system in development and the satellite-based augmentation system for the Global Positioning System that would be receivable within Japan. The first satellite "Michibiki" was launched on 11 September 2010. Full operational status was expected by 2013. In March 2013, Japan's Cabinet Office announced the expansion of the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System from three satellites to four. The $526 million contract with Mitsubishi Electric for the construction of three satellites is slated for launch before the end of 2017. The basic four-satellite system is planned to be operational in 2018.
HMAS Albatross (air station) HMAS "Albatross" is a Royal Australian Navy (RAN) naval air station in support of the RAN's aviation branch, the Fleet Air Arm. The base, located near Nowra, New South Wales, was formally established in May 1942 as Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) base RAAF Nowra, then was transferred to the Royal Navy as HMS "Nabbington" in 1944, and operated as a naval air station until it was decommissioned in late 1945. In 1948, the airfield was commissioned into the RAN as HMAS "Albatross", as the primary shore base for the Fleet Air Arm. Since 2011, four squadrons of the Fleet Air Arm operate from "Albatross". The current commander of the base is Captain Fiona Sneath, RAN.
