Japanese Space Program is one of the activities being conducted by Japan in order to understand the New World.
History[]
Japan's space exploration originated on Earth in the mid-1950s as a research group led by Hideo Itokawa at the University of Tokyo. Rocket sizes increased gradually from less than 30 cm (12 in) at the start of the project to over 15 m (49 ft) in the mid-1960s. The aim of the original research project was to launch a man-made satellite.
By the 1960s, two organizations, the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) and the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA), were developing their own rockets. After experiencing numerous failures in the 1990s and 2000s, ISAS and NASDA merged — along with the National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan (NAL) — to form the unified Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in 2003.
Activities in the New World[]
Months after the transfer of Japan into the New World, JAXA launched 2 geosynchronous satellites, one is a visible-light observation satellite and another is a communications satellite into orbit using the H-IIB medium-lift launch vehicle at the Tanegashima Space Center to fully understand the New World. So far, there are 4 Japanese satellites orbiting the New World. After the Japanese-Parpaldian War, the Ministry of Defense included in its ambitious program the launching of a minimum of 36 satellites into orbit in order to effectively monitor the activities in the New World. That lacking and urgency has shown during the Invasion of Gra Valkas Empire to Japan when PM Yomoya said that the movements of the Great Fleet can't be monitored by only 4 satellites.
The space program also included the following:
- The launching of the Japanese GPS for civilian and military application (research and production of GPS-based guided bombs and long-range cruise missiles).
- The launching of rovers in one of the moons of the New World.
- The launching of space-probes.
- The possibility of manned space flight to the moons and nearby planets.
Recently, in the Vol. 6, Japan already using the new launch vehicle for their space activities which is the LE-0, JAXA also commissions the corporations Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and IHI Corporation to build a space shuttle for space operations to retrieve a Mystar.
