Cover Page under preparation Greeting from the Editor Broad (in English) A Happy New Year! The new year of 2012 has come, but the last year was a special year for us. Japanese because we were struck by the East Japan Great Earthquake on March 11, 2011. Many people were killed or evacuated from such a big natural disaster. Furthermore many people were evacuated from the big accident of nuclear power generation plants . I think that these disasters influenced our Japanese to change not only our philosophy of life but also our thought about science and technology. At a particularly early stage of such a great disaster, it was shown that the satellite communications were extremely reliable technology by the effort of many people concerned. We would like to continue transmitting the useful information through the Space Japan Review. We appreciate your continuous support for the JFSC.... Space Japan Opinion (in English) Methodology of Research and Development From Research of Satellite Communications to General Research 3. Method for National Security Related Research Takashi Iida, JFSC Special Advisor, AIAA Fellow In this opinion column, it is intended to argue how to conduct research and development (R&D) on satellite communication, especially for national security. This is why we step forward in the 21st century of the chaos which was determined by the terrorist attacks to the U.S.A. on September 11, 2001, and in order to deal in a century of chaos, R&D of national security, especially satellite communications becomes particularly more and more important. On that occasion, an R&D methodology in general R&D as well as one of satellite communications is argued based on experience of the management of Communications Research Laboratory of the author's former job. Therefore, the content may be based on the author's own dogmatism and prejudice, but please forgive me because of an opinion column.
