摘要

Japan's workhorse H-2A rocket, having undergone a top-to-bottom review and significant modifications following a November 2003 failure, is set to return to flight Feb. 24 carrying a government weather and air traffic control satellite. A successful launch will validate the corrective actions and, perhaps more importantly, enable Japan to get on with the future of its space program, according to government and industry space officials here. Another failure, either in this launch or the five planned thereafter, could ignite a debate over the future of the program, one expert observer said. The last H-2A launch ended in failure after one of the vehicle's Solid Rocket Boost-er-A (SRB-A) strap-on motors suffered a burn-through in the throat of its nozzle. The burn-through damaged the H-2A's SRB-A separation system, and the vehicle, unable to jettison the weight of the spent booster, was ordered destroyed after range safety engineers determined it would not reach orbit. The failure destroyed a pair of high-priority imaging satellites — one optical and one radar — that were to be part of a four-satellite constellation intended to keep tabs on North Korean military activities.
