The SBAS signal that is made by MLIT is now transmitted from the QZS-3 GEO satellite using the QZSS SBAS transmission service since April 2020.<ref name=SBASTS>[https://qzss.go.jp/en/overview/services/sv12_sbas.html SBAS Transmission Service]</ref>

			==MSAS V2 (2020)==
			MTSAT-2 was replaced by the weather-only Himawari 8 in 2015 and MTSAT-1R was decommissioned later that year, due to fuel limitations.

			MTSAT-2 remained operational in its SBAS functions until 2020 when the geostationary QZS-3 satellite, launched in august 2017, assumed the SBAS transmission service, thus starting the MSAS V2 phase.

			The QZS-3 satellite or Michibiki 3, was built by Mitsubishi Electric, based on the DS2000 bus. It is placed at 127º East and its improved antenna allows it to transmit two signals (dual-PRN operation). It was the first satellite to transmit an L1Sb SBAS signal. <ref name="Implementation">[https://www.icao.int/APAC/APAC-RSO/GBASSBAS%20Implementation%20Workshop/3-2_GBAS_SBAS%20Implementation%20Perspective-Rev%202%20(S%20Saito).pdf "GBAS/SBAS Implementation Perspective - Japan", GBAS/SBAS International Workshop, Seoul, 3-5 June 2019 ]</ref> <ref name="QZS34">[https://www.gpsworld.com/innovation-qzs-3-and-qzs-4-join-the-quasi-zenith-satellite-system/ "Innovation: QZS-3 and QZS-4 join the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System", GPSworld, February 9, 2018]</ref>
