It was administered in partnership by JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency) as the operator of the satellites, and by JAXA (formerly NASDA) as the spacecraft and launch service provider (originally, NASDA was also the spacecraft operator). In Japan, the GMS program was also known by the name of (sunflower). The GMS program called for one operational spacecraft in orbit on the basis of a continuous service provision for the series.
