Talk:M-V

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I thought this is in fact M-V... See ISAS site. It might be better to move. - Marsian / talk 10:40, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Yes, M-V does seem to be the correct name, used in all the sources I've looked at (including the "parent" Mu (rocket) article, and the Japanese/German versions of this article). I would support a name "move", unless someone can source a good reason to keep "M-5" the primary name. Earlier rockets in the series were called "Mu-1" and "Mu-3", perhaps explaining the confusion. -- Rwendland 11:42, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps since the existing redirect M-V has page history, I couldn't move (swap) this page to M-V, so I requested move. - Marsian / talk 06:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Obvioustly, there's another possibility of M-V rocekt. Missing this point was totally my fault thus I withdrew my request. - Marsian / talk 10:59, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ICBM-Version

The Japanese don't need such a heavy long-range missile to hit their neighbor North Korea.--Arado 15:24, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] M-5 was terminated.

M-5 launcher has been terminated. I think "National Security" section is no longer appropriate. We should remove the section. It is a very strange section anyway. I guess Japan hater wrote it. --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.188.139.200 (talk • contribs) 04:57, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

When you say terminated, do you mean that it has been retired, and will not be launched again. Do you have a cite for this? I was under the impression that it is still active, and infact, I have a cite that one is scheduled to launch in 2008, with the PLANET-C Venus orbiter. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 11:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

That is correct. If you can read Japanese, there are tons of news source for that. Otherwise PLANET-C is one. M-5 is infamous for its launching cost and incapablity for quick launching even though it is a solid fuel rocket. No way to make it a missile. They have a plan to develop a smaller rocket to reduce launching cost.

[edit] Requested move

M-5 rocket → M-V – Official name uses roman numerals[1] as opposed to numbers. Article should do the same. (Move is over redirect with history). GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 13:24, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I've moved it. —Mets501 (talk) 17:22, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 18:53, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
