Japan launches first satellite rocket The Associated Press TANEGASHIMA, Japan — Japan's first major rocket roared into space Friday, a ven ture the country hopes will lift it into the com mercial satellite business. Analysts predict the cost of the H-II's lead ing-edge technology will make it too expen sive to compete in the tough satellite-launch ing market, currently dominated by Europe's Arianespace. The H-II rocket's long-anticipated liftoff came after three days of delays due to stormy weather and problems with a temperature control duct. It was originally scheduled to lift off Tuesday from Japan's southwestern tip. About 15 minutes after takeoff it released a dish-shaped experimental craft that is to mea sure temperatures and pressures as it re-en ters the atmosphere to help Japan develop a small space shuttle. The orange and yellow H-II was developed completely in Japan at a cost of $2.4 billion. It frees Japan from U.S. veto power over launches of third-nation satellites, a condition set in the licensing agreement for U.S. technol ogy used in Japan's previous rockets. Each H-II costs about $145 million, nearly twice as much as one of Europe's workhorse Ariane 4 rockets. The National Space Development Agency of Japan hopes to compensate with a reputa tion for reliability. The problems surrounding the H-II's maiden launch didn't help on that score. Privately, some space officials say the H-II reflects a lack of direction in Japanese space policy rather than a concerted effort to break into the commercial launching market. The rocket has few potential military cations, and also is inappropriate for manne: | space travel. NASDA officials say some of theH-11 technology may be applied to future plane and cars. Analysts predicted such commerciiL spinoffs of technology may be the spaff agenev's main source of revenue fromthe| n. In the commercial satellite field, thejapr ese rocket has a number of competitors. Since plans for the H-II were made nearll decade ago, the U.S. space shuttle andll rope's Arianespace dominated the small cc| mercial satellite launching business. | Since then, China, Russia and two Amf; can companies have entered the growingni? ; ket, driving down prices and creating a j launch vehicles.
