Ultimate Japanese rocket lifted off yesterday
Tokyo, Japan - To escort two satellites
The third H-2A, the ultimate generation rocket made in Japan, successfully lifted off from the Tanegashima island (100 km far from Tokyo, editor's note) yesterday. The 57-meter long rocket departed with two satellites on board. After the first H-2A launch, carried out successfully on last August 2001, a second attempt has failed last February. (007)
