This is the manual for how to prepare your paper for Transactions of the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space
Science (JSASS). All the papers should be written by appropriate word processors or TeX with the format specified inthis manual. Abstract should be placed here. If the contribution is the one which has already been presented at the JSASS
conference, specify name of conference and date by using footnote. The class file “tjsass.cls” can be used for Aerospace
Technology Japan, ISTS special issue, and APISAT special issue by choosing the corresponding option.

2.2. Author name(s) and aﬃliation(s)Author names are to be centered beneath the title andprinted in Times 10-point, non-boldface type. The full nameis preferred. Only primary contributors should be listed inauthors list; others may appear in Acknowledgment. Aﬃliations should follow on the next line. The aﬃliations are centered, italicized and in Times 8-point, not bold. Leave twoblank lines after the aﬃliations. The space between the lines
is 10-point.
2.3. Abstract
Each technical paper must be accompanied by a 100- to
200-word abstract that is indented 4 letters, written as a single paragraph, printed in Times 9-point, not bold, flush left.
It should be a summary and complete in itself. The abstract
should indicate the subjects dealt with in the paper and should
state the objectives of the investigation. New findings andconclusions of the experiment or argument discussed in thepaper must be stated in the abstract. Research notes and miscellaneous do not have abstracts.
Leave 30 mm in both sides. The space between the lines is11.5-point. Leave one blank line after the abstract.
2.4. Key words
Key word should be centered, in Times 9-point, not bold.
Begin by “Key Words: ” (in Times 9-points, boldface type,and 2 letters blank) at the top. Specify three to five key words
preferably including at least one keyword selected from the”JSASS Standard Key Words” list.

1. Introduction
These guidelines include complete descriptions of thefonts, spacing, and related information for producing yourmanuscripts. Please pay extreme attention to keep the original format shown in this file. Authors using LaTeX may use“tjsass.cls” file and sample manuscript (this file) provided byJSASS. But it should be noted that the manuscript should besubmitted in PDF format, and that no support for this sample
manuscript and the class file is provided by JSASS. Whenmaking a pdf file, all the fonts including the standard PostScript fonts (such as Times and Symbol) must be embeddedin the document, and don’t use national (e.g. Japanese) fonts.
Movie files and some kinds of software tools should not beincluded in the paper.
2. Cover of the Manuscript
2.1. Title
The title should be brief and concise (maximum of 20words), without the use of acronyms or abbreviations. The title should be centered, and in Times 14-point, boldface type.
Capitalize the first letter of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; do not capitalize articles, coordinate conjunctions, or prepositions (unless the title begins with such aword). Leave a blank line after the title. The space between
the lines is 17.5 point.

3. Main Text
Type your main text in 10-point Times, single-spaced. Allparagraphs should be indented 2 letters. Be sure your text isfully justified. The space between the lines is 12-point.
3.1. Major-headings
For example, “1.(2 letters blank)Introduction”, should beTimes 10-point boldface, with the first letter capitalized, flush
left, with one blank line from last, leaving one blank line tonext. Use a period (“ . ”) after the heading number, not acolon.

3.2. Sub-headings
For example, “4.4.(2 letters blank) Second-order headings”, should be Times 10-point boldface, initially capitalized, flush left and with no blank line from last.
3.2.1. Sub-sub-headings
For example, “4.4.1.(2 letters blank) Third-order headings”, should be Times 10-point boldface, initially capitalized, flush left and with no blank line from last.
3.3. Nomenclature
A nomenclature section is required for papers containing
more than a few symbols; nomenclature definitions should
not appear in the text. Nomenclature should be beneath thekey words as follows; “Symbol (V, X etc.) - : (colon) - (2letter blank) - Definitions”. The position of colon is 35 mm
from the left end of the page. Please use standard symbols
whenever possible. The symbols are in 10-point and the definitions are in Times 10-point, not bold. The symbols should
be listed in alphabetical order.
3.4. Introduction
The paper must include an Introduction - a brief assessment of prior work by others and an explanation of how thepaper contributes to the field.
3.5. Symbols and units
Use standard symbols whenever possible. Mathematicalsymbols should be italicized. To save space, the solidus (/)
must be used for fractions in the text and for simple fractions
in equations. The use of metric system of units (SI) is mandatory, except for unavoidable cases.
3.6. Equations
The symbols should be in 10-point and centered. The
equation numbers should be right flush as
A + B = C,

(1)

D + E = F.

(2)

Fig. 1. The symbol of JSASS. Only the first letter in a sentence should
be upper case. Single-line caption should be centered. In plural-linecaption, lines before the last one both sided, the last one flush left.
Captions must end with a period.

3.7. Illustrations
Line drawings must be clear and sharp. Computergenerated illustrations are acceptable as long as lines andgraph points are distinct. Lettering should be large enoughto be legible after reduction. The art of hatching can be used
for figures but no shading is allowed. Attach black & white
illustrations of pictures in the manuscript if the authors wish
to publish them in black and white. If color illustrations orpictures are attached, they are printed in color. Symbols usedfor these materials should be italicized in accordance with thesymbols in the text. Each figure must have a caption.
Figure captions should be 8-point Times and centered. For
example: “Fig.(a blank)1.(2 blanks)The symbol of JSASS.”
Capitalize only the first word of each caption. Figure captions
must end with a period. The captions are to be below thefigures. Please use “Figure 1” or “Figures 1 and 2” at the
beginning of sentences. Otherwise, use “Fig. 1”, or “Figs. 1and 2” in the text. All figures must be referred to in numericalorder in the text.
3.8. Tables
Table captions should be 8-point Times and centered. For
example: “Table(a blank)1.(2 blanks)Form of the paper.”Capitalize only the first word of each caption. Table captions
must end with a period. The captions are to be over the tables. All tables must be referred to in numerical order in thetext.
Table 1 shows an example of table.
