We present H2O masers associated with the massive-star forming region G192 observed with the Japan VLBI network since the year 2005, The spatio-kinematical structure of the maser feature clusters has well persisted since previous observations, in which the masers are associated with two young stellar objects (YSOs) separated by ~1200 AU and expected to be associated with a highly-collimated bipolar jet and an infalling-rotating disk in the northern and southern YSOs, respectively. We estimated a jet speed of ~100 km s−1 and re-estimated a dynamical age of the whole jet to be 5.6×104 years. The spatial distribution of maser Doppler velocities found during the previous and present observations, relative proper motions of H2O maser features in the southern cluster found in the present observations, a relative bulk motion between the two maser clusters are well explained by a model of an infalling-rotating disk with a radius of ~1000 AU and a central stellar mass of ~8 M⊙.
