Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT)GOSAT is observing satellite for the global
distribution of greenhouse gases from outerspace, and it contributes to the international
effort toward prevention of the global warning .

Communications and BroadcastingSUPERBIRD C2
SUPERBIRD series are the first commercial
communications satellite designed and manufactured
by domestic companies. The four planes are operated
as the series of the efficient communications satellitethat SKY Perfect JSAT Ltd. has and operates on theorbit now.

Positioning
Multi-functional Transport Satellite(MTSAT)(SOURCE : JAXA)MTSAT are Multifunctional Transport Satellites withthe Airlines mission and the weather missionfunction. The series fulfills a meteorological
function for the Japan Meteorological Agency andan aviation control function for the Civil Aviation
Bureau (CAB) of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructureand Transport(MLIT).

Quasi-Zenith Satellite-1(MICHIBIKI)
The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System(QZSS) uses
multiple satellites that have the same orbital period
as geostationary satellites with some orbital
inclinations. These satellite are placed in multiple
orbital planes, so that one satellite always appears
near the zenith above the region of Japan.

Space Science, Exploration and Discovery

HAYABUSA(MUSES-C)"HAYABUSA " was launched aboard the M-V Launch Vehicle
on May 9,2003. It reached its target Asteroid “ITOKAWA” on
September 12,2005.
For about seven years since, " HAYABUSA " successfullycompleted a great achievement by landing on the asteroid
gathering sample and returning to the Earth with them while
overcoming various troubles.

(SOURCE : JAXA)AKATSUKI (PLANET-C)AKATSUKI is the next planetary exploration project . This
project’s main purpose is to elucidate the mysteries of theVenusian atmosphere. Its mission to enter the orbit of Venus
in December in 2011 unfortunately failed.

International Cooperation
KIBO : Japanese Experiment Module
Japan is participating in the assembly of the International
Space Station (ISS), a large-scale multinational project. Its
contribution is the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM)"KIBO". The project involves experiments and research inopen space and in a zero-gravity environment aboard thespace station. JAXA is also providing training for ISS
astronauts. It is expected that research in outer space will
improve human life on Earth.

H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV)The HTV is an unmanned cargo transporter to be launchedby the H-IIB launch vehicle. It is designed to deliver up to six
tons of supplies including food, clothes, and experimentdevices to the ISS in orbit at an altitude of about 400
kilometers and return with spent equipment, used clothing,and other waste material.
