Talk:JAXA

message: It seems like this page is due for updating, as it mentions events in 2009/2010 as "future" events, and leaves the reader unsure about outcomes.Cbihun (talk) 20:46, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Update?

message: i believe the [previous, pre-merger] space organization/apparatus in japan has had satellite-launch capabilities for several decades.  the first paragraph of the wiki is pretty misleading in that it mentions that JAXA has 'already launched its first satellite.'  which is just a bureacratic landmark, not a landmark in their space program.  but it seems to imply that japan hasn't launched satellites into orbit before.
The article states: 
:Development of the M-5 rocket was lobbied for by right-wing politicians, because of its possible military applications. [1]
Is there a source for this?

thread_title: mislead about satellites

message: This article needed some major cleanup, as it faced major flow and grammar issues. I hope that I have improved it. In, the process, I removed the controversies section, as the reference was broken. If someone wants to put that back in, that's fine, but don't do it by reverting, as you will remove my hard work on the rest of the article. The controversy over the m-5 rocket's alleged military uses is discussed in the m-5 article, however. Does it need to be in the JAXA article?  Colby 07:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major Overhaul 

message: I have removed this article from the Good Article candidates page for the following reasons:
*Lead is too short. See WP:LEAD.
*This article is not nearly well enough sourced. It's only got 2 inline citations and four direct links (which should be converted). There are plenty of claims made in the article that should be sourced and aren't.
*Certain portions of the article are not well written. Many sentences are short and/or fragmentary. (e.g. "Whole mission time is around 3 months." and "First launch, GCOM-W is scheduled for 2010 with the H-2A.")
*The article is not well organized. It has very many short sections, which should either be expanded to give a more robust picture of each mission, or combined. (I recommend the former; it seems there is much more that could be said about this agency that is yet to be covered.)

Little English media coverage, but verifiable as a launch that doesn't seem to appear in the article.  Did I just not understand the names? -Theanphibian (talk • contribs) 17:58, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Michibiki on H2A Rocket Latest Launch 

message: It's likely that there's some good stuff in the Japan's space development article, but it's only roughly translated from the Japanese version. I suspect that that article should be deleted, or just become a base of links to the various articles, such as this one, here in the English wikipedia. Snori (talk) 17:22, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: many of JAXA facilities use 'center', not 'centre'. So it's better to use American English for consistency of spelling. Ivan Humphrey (talk) 14:47, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
