Its launch capability to the geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) will be the highest ever, exceeding that of the existing H-IIA and H-IIB Launch Vehicles.H3 is under development to be a successor to H-IIA and H-IIB so that Japan can maintain its autonomous access to space to launch satellites and probes including important missions for the government. We are eager to launch commercial satellites every year as well.JAXA and its prime contractor, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), and other related companies are all hands on deck from the development phase to leverage their experiences to renovate the whole system for producing a low cost, flexible and reliable rocket.</blockquote></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) release <blockquote>Launch of the First H3 Launch VehicleJAXA will provide the live coverage of the launch of the first H3 Launch Vehicle (H3 TF1: Test Flight No.1) with Advanced Land Observing Satellite-3 "DAICHI-3" (ALOS-3) onboard based on the new launch date of March 7, 2023 at 10:37:55 a.m. (JST).</blockquote> <center><center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/jaxa_h3_launch_vehicle02-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/jaxa_h3_launch_vehicle02.jpg" width="400" height="267" border="0"></a></center><iframe width="400" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5RWCnKbysO0" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen>
