Talk:Mu (rocket)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article doesn't match with History of Japan Space Research. I'm not very knowledgeable of the history and nomenclature of ISAS rockets, so I'll just put memorandum here.

  • The Article says Mu-1, when it should be L-4S. But the first of the L (Lambda) series rocket (L-3-1) was launched to suborbit in 1964.
  • The Article says In 1971 (after a launch failure in 1970) the first Japanese satellite was launched with the four-stage M-4S rocket. Whereas the first Japanese satellite Ohsumi was launched in 1970 by L-4S-5.
  • First satellite launched by Mu rocket (Mu-4S-2) was Tansei in 1971, after a failure of Mu-4S-1 in 1970.
