The Japanese VLBI project VERA (VLBI for the Earth Rotation study and Astrometry) is being designed. It will be dedicated to regular monitoring of the Earth's rotation and astrometry. VERA will be composed of two antennas spanning about 2300km and a correlator of multi-station capability. The diameters of the antennas are 35m and 15m.
