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.
