Mitsubishi Heavy Industries successfully launched its 49th H2A rocket from southwestern Japan, despite previous weather delays.
Carrying the IGS-Radar 8 satellite, this mission aims to enhance national security and disaster monitoring capabilities from space.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries said Thursday that it had launched an H2A rocket from an island in southwestern Japan to collect information. It is the 49th launch of the rocket, which had been delayed twice because of weather.
The satellite will help monitor the ground from space for national security, aside from checking for damage from big disasters. Japan aims to launch one more H2A rocket into orbit before it switches over to the new H3 rocket.
As Japan prepares to transition to the new H3 rocket, this significant launch marks a pivotal moment in its space exploration efforts.
The rocket, carrying a commercial radar satellite, lifted off at 1:24 a.m. Eastern time from a launch pad and released the satellite some two hours later. The satellite is the IGS-Radar 8, which will collect data for intelligence agencies following environmental changes and monitor disasters. It could take pictures of any place on Earth-whatever time of night or bad weather.

This was the second-to-last H2A rocket launch as the final launch was planned for this fiscal year. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries announced that the rocket operated according to design and was separated normally from the satellite. The core section for the final H2A rocket is complete and will be shipped out to the launch site shortly.
