Japan\u2019s flagship H2A rocket lifted off for the final time at 1:33 a.m. on June 29 from the Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture, successfully concluding a 24-year run that has defined the nation\u2019s space capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rocket\u2019s 50th and final mission carried the GOSAT-GW, a government-developed hybrid environmental observation satellite, which is expected to play a key role in the country\u2019s climate change mitigation and resource management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had tremendous support from our partners. Thanks to their efforts, and also thanks to the guidance of JAXA, we\u2019ve made it this far,\u201d Iwao Igarashi, head of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries\u2019 space division, told a news conference following the launch. \u201cWe\u2019re also deeply grateful to the local communities that have supported us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this final launch, the H2A retires with a stellar track record \u2014 49 successful launches out of 50, a success rate of 98%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But despite the success rate, pulses were racing ahead of the rocket\u2019s final go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo be honest, I was more nervous than I\u2019ve ever been before,\u201d said Keiji Suzuki, an MHI official in charge of the rocket launch. \u201cAnd now that the launch has succeeded safely \u2026 it still feels like I\u2019m dreaming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jointly developed by MHI and JAXA, the 53-meter rocket debuted in 2001 and quickly became the workhorse of Japan\u2019s space program.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
