This report describes the TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) related activities in Japan. Japan's contributions to the TRMM project include development of PR (Precipitation Radar), launching the satellite into orbit, as well as data processing and distribution. PR is the main sensor of the TRMM and will be the first spaceborne rain radar. Also, TRMM is the first foreign user satellite launched by a Japanese launch vehicle. This requires many works to coordinate the interface between the satellite and H-2 launch vehicle as well as Tanegashima launch facilities.
