Contents 1 Launch failure 2 Picture 3 Talk 4 Launch provider? 5 H-II series

[edit] Launch failure

Why TF1 is marked as a "failure"? There might be subtle problems, but the launch was quite successful.[[1]]

Also it is misleading to say that TF2 was a "failure". The launch itself was successful, though it failed to separate a satellite; however, the problem was due to the satellite, not the launch vehicle. It would be appropriate to say "partial failure".

[edit] Picture

The drawing of the rocket is not the H-IIA, but the H-IIB, which is currently being developed by JAXA as a new rocket. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.251.7.80 (talk) 13:26, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I wonder what made you think so. The letters "H-IIA" are clearly visible on the 2nd stage, and the image comes from an ADEOS press kit (launched by H-IIA), as can be seen on the image description page. --朝彦 (Asahiko) 17:15, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk

This should probably be merged with H-2A rocket. - NeuronExMachina 08:01, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Yea, or it could be murged with this page, but they would be better of together... - Golf 14:57, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Done. -Joseph (Talk) 02:09, 2004 Oct 22 (UTC)

[edit] Launch provider?

Will Mitsubishi be the "launch service provider" for this rocket? Or is JAXA responsible for the launch operations? (sdsds - talk) 01:10, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will provide the launch services for H-IIA starting from F13. I don't have an English source at hand right away, but this PDF (in Japanese) basically says it all.[2] Basically, the jobs left for JAXA are observing security and deciding go/no-go from security-point-of-view. JAXA is still regarded de jure responsible internationally because of international treaties. --朝彦 (Asahiko) 16:25, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] H-II series

There should be an H-II series article about the program and related rockets. 70.55.89.134 (talk) 07:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
