On July 3, an international workshop was held in honor of Professor Mutsumi Ishitukas 50 years of research in Peru at the Sycaya Astronomical Radio Observatory, which is located in the suburbs of Huancayo, Peru, at an altitude of 3300 meters. A 32-meter parabola antenna which had been used for satellite communications was donated by a telecommunications company, and its system modification is underway to make it usable as a new radio telescope.
