Japan has launched a rocket carrying a government satellite designed to monitor Korean movements and improve disaster response. The Associated Press reported this on January 12.
It is noted that the H2A rocket with an optical satellite was launched by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. from the Tanegashima Space Launch Center in southwest Japan.
Mitsubishi Heavy’s liquid-fueled H2A rocket with two solid-fueled subrocket rockets has reportedly made 41 consecutive successful launches since a failure in 2003, with a success rate of 98%.
Japan began a program of launching intelligence-gathering satellites after a North Korean missile flew over Japan in 1988, and it aims to create a network of 10 satellites to detect and provide early warning of possible missile launches .
Let’s recall that in March last year, Japan’s new H3 launch vehicle failed to launch an Earth remote sensing satellite into orbit.
It was also reported that Rocket Lab successfully launched the Japanese satellite Tsukuyomi-1 into space on December 15.
