I pray sincerely success.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) 22 days, H2A rocket No. 29 equipped with the Canadian communications and broadcasting satellite
3 o'clock 23 minutes and 24 pm, it was announced that it would launch from the Tanegashima Space Center (Kagoshima Prefecture). Domestic rocket hit the commercial satellite
raise of it the first time, to use a long time flight can be improved type of H2A. Toward comeback in the commercial launch market that is lagging behind
It becomes crucial stage.
So far of H2A separates the geostationary satellite after about 30 minutes of launch, the satellite has reached the geostationary orbit altitude 36,000 km own
It had. Improved about 4 hours flight by increasing the two-stage engine injected three times contrast. Satellite is carried to near the geostationary orbit,
It is possible to enter the track while suppressing fuel consumption, there is an advantage that operation period is extended several years.
Accounting for Europe and Russia is a large market share in the commercial launch market that carries the customer of satellite in orbit, Japan has been struggling. Improved performance
In introduction of the cause was improved H2A, is aimed to strengthen the international competitiveness.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to perform the orders and launch services has been launched in 2012 a satellite of the South Korean government, private satellite of commercial purposes for the first time.
This time is also a large satellite of industry leaders, it is an opportunity to increase its presence in the global market if it succeeds. The company's Hirashima Range team leader
It was said, "was a success to ensure it faces in the normal heart, I want to connect to business expansion."
 It is quite a long flight from the four and a half hours. Is it possible to put a satellite in geostationary orbit not much of a burden on the satellite, but flying safe?
It is really going to be a launch of a crucial moment. I pray sincerely success.




三菱重工業と宇宙航空研究開発機構（ＪＡＸＡ）は２２日、カナダの通信放送衛星を搭載したＨ２Ａロケット２９号機を２４日午後３時２３分、種子島宇宙センター（鹿児島県）から打ち上げると発表した。国産ロケットが商業衛星を打ち上げるのは初めてで、長時間飛行できる改良型のＨ２Ａを使う。後れを取っている商業打ち上げ市場での巻き返しに向け正念場となる。
　これまでのＨ２Ａは打ち上げの約３０分後に静止衛星を分離し、衛星が自力で高度３万６千キロの静止軌道に到達していた。これに対し改良型は２段エンジンの噴射を３回に増やして約４時間半飛行。衛星は静止軌道の近くまで運ばれ、燃料消費を抑えて軌道に入ることができ、運用期間が数年延びる利点がある。
　顧客の衛星を軌道に運ぶ商業打ち上げ市場では欧州とロシアが大きなシェアを占め、日本は苦戦してきた。性能を向上させた改良型Ｈ２Ａの投入で、国際競争力を強化する狙いがある。
　受注と打ち上げ業務を行う三菱重工業は韓国政府の衛星を平成２４年に打ち上げたが、商業目的の民間衛星は初めて。
　今回は業界大手の大型衛星でもあり、成功すれば世界市場で存在感を高める好機となる。同社の平嶋射場チーム長は「平常心で臨み確実に成功させ、事業拡大につなげたい」と話した。
 　４時間半とはかなりの長時間飛行ですね。衛星には負担がかかりませんが安全に飛行して衛星を静止軌道に投入できるか？本当に正念場の発射になりそうですね。成功を心から祈ります。
