I am so glad you have focused on the Japanese Space Program. They definitely do not get enough attention. Most people don't realize that their segment of the ISS is almost a small space station in itself. It has its own laboratory and robot arm. They are one of the most important partners NASA can have. I hope the relationship stays strong between NASA and JAXA.
Note that the 1st French Satellite was launched on an American Scout launch vehicle so actually Japan was the 3rd Nation to independently launch their own satellite closely followed by the Brits in 1971 (Who were the first nation to independently develop a working space programme and nuclear programme only to abandon them)
The Brits......*SIGH*..... The Conservatives can never see an investment when they see one. And the Liberals seem to be so hyper-focused on domestic programs to save the poor, that they always destroy the military and high tech industries through starvation. The UK once led the world in Aerospace, electronics, and computers. Then they just pissed it away along with their empire in the name of saving money. I see the same thing happening here in the US if the budget hawks in the GOP ever get full control. They will cut the shit out of everything and our technology base and infrastructure will wither away. When will the so called budget hawks realize that every government investment in research pays massive dividends down the road. We have been living off of the technology base created by the Cold War and Project Apollo for 60 years.
I am not sure what you are talking about here. The first entirely french satellite was launched on a Diamant rocket in 1965 from Algeria. The satellite was named Asterix and the rocket has been developed as part of France's "gemstones" project. There may have been some technical exchange with the US but it was not an US launch vehicle. That makes them the third nation to launch a satellite on their own. They have been followed 5 years later by Japan, the PRC and the UK. Within that time frame, France launched 6 satellites on their Diamant launcher (5 successes and one partial success).
It's a little weird to see the german space agency (the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt - DLR) name on all the rover and future asteroid mission footage when only JAXA is mentioned... I found a picture of a handover of IDEFIX to JAXA, on the DLR website, that also shows that the french space agency is involved (CNES), which also explains why one of the rovers mentioned, at 12:59, is called owl in french.
It's very impressive that they launched the rocket at an angle due to their limitation. Though I'm still not quite clear about the H2 rocket. Are they now allowed to make rocket with guidance system? Or are they still forbidden? If yes, why are they allowed? Or, how are they making a rocket launching straight up without guidance?
Lambda series had no "guidance systems" that could be used for nefarious purposes, who knows tf it means, and angled launch was partly necessary for unguided gravity turn on an aerodynamic and spin-stabilized rocket that it was. That "guidance system" requirement was dropped soon after so later vehicles such as M-V technically could have launched upright. There's no particular technical or legal reasons angled launch makes a rocket more lawful and peaceful. I suspect the video author was confused by various translated Japanese materials that are plagued by errors in the first place especially when it comes to ISAS. ISAS has been somewhat secretive, or rather always trying to be open but horrible at communicating with non-academics, and also secretly being ultra patriotic bunches. Angled launches, horizontal integration, insistence on solid motors, etc. Even after unification into JAXA in 2000s they were talking "mobile launch" concept that aims to make a rapid one-person launch possible. Doesn't that sound so peaceful? I find it a very calming concept. The rockets can be stored on a trailer somewhere, pulled out in haste, easily integrated with a small payload supplied from the very upset custromer, and launched on extremely short notice into an orbit, requiring just handful of specialists and couple off the shelf laptops in a nearby shack. Extremely peaceful concept with the most straightforward explanation possible, right? Soon after L-4S-5 managed to insert the first Japanese object on orbit, the US intervened and accelerated establishment of NASDA, which is a completely separete and parallel Japanese space agency to ISAS that is not as unhinged and more focused on human spaceflight. Notably, the US dumped bunch of Delta II-related documents very generously to NASDA like ITAR has never been a thing, and N-I, N-II, H-I, and H-II series of NASDA launch vehicles came of it with Mitsubishi as primary contractor. Those were hydrolox LVs that require substantial launch site support equipment and long fuel loading time, which makes it useless in nuclear warfare and make them actually more peaceful, and make it much less meaningful to do an all-indigenous rocket that ISAS was doing. The Kibo ISS module and HTV cargo vehicle were both developed and operated by NASDA and then JAXA. Important part of this is ISAS and NASDA co-existed, and still exists to some extent under JAXA, as completely separate and parallel entities to one another. Neither is a military or para-military, just two civilian space agencies doing one solid and one liquid. But angled launch wasn't a requirement, just a tradition ISAS took and kept from Lambda legacy.
My 1st Toyota surpassed all American and German autos I ever owned, maybe 69 Mustang excluded whose engine blew up after about 28k miles, drove from CA to Indiana in 2 days. in 2 days.
Japan has approached space in a similar way that it has approached many international issues for a long time. They contribute and integrate with the broader international community economically, politically, culturally. By integrating and working with others they have enhanced their status around the world. It's the thing China can't seem to get right and why Japan has more soft power.
@@averteddisasterbarely2339@averteddisasterbarely2339 Thanks for troubling to reply. Ariel series started in '62. I think you are referring to Prospero launched on a Black Knight vehicle from Woomera in late 1971. Overall the Brits did quite well until government got the better of the nation. My offspring live a stone's throw from the cliff edge engine test site on the Isle of Wight (open freely to the public to see what might have been).
Since Japan can't develop rocket guidance, is there a loop hole, say they just buy a few dozen rockets from spacex, and have SpaceX format a plug and play system Japan could just build around?
I keep thinking Im going to get the latest news here. But it just seems like a lot of (cool) stuff that's been in the words for a long time. Nothing about the moon landing last month or Startship #3? Do you have a different channel for news?
the western world also known as China 1 or PRC 1, was the first space satellite of the People's Republic of China (PRC), launched successfully on 24 April 1970 as part of the PRC's Dongfanghong space satellite program.
Japan should tell america that WWII was over more than 70 years ago and we are at least bussiness partners so any old agreement is now null and void. And if america don't like it too bad. Is america willing to go to war with Japan over advancing technologies. I bet not. And I'm american
This is glossing over NASDA part a bit too much. H-II wasn't even second full scale launch vehicle that NASDA operated and it had become H-IIA before HTV became operational. There really were two independent and almost unrelated space agencies in this same country and that has to be explained.
Now the world has changed, Japan is Facing Danger From China, North Korea, Russia, So, Japan has Right keep Out from the Agreement that Stoping making Arms For Army, Navy, Air Force. Japan has Right to Defend its Country, Japan has Right to make Arm, Missiles, Tanks, State of the Arts Technology. Etc etc etc etc 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for presenting these updates to a range of space programs. Congrats to JAXA and good luck in their future endeavours. Asteroid mining, no longer in the realm of science fiction.
yup, they are super tiny. the can carry in relation to their mass more or less the same amount of fuel. in theory no limit how small can be an orbital rocket, in practice some parts have limits, but still can be very small. also those early scientific instruments are really simple: pressure sensor, temp gauge, maybe some radiological device (very small gm tube or similar.) the micrometeorite detector sounds fancy, but in reality it was little more than a tinfoil exposed to the outside for a few seconds.
All of the smaller rockets that were mentioned were sub-orbital. You only need to fight gravity up to 100km to reach space, but to reach orbit you need an additional 7 km per second of velocity! Also, 5000cm is 50 meters. That's a *good-sized* rocket. The Rocket Lab Electron is only 20m and it sure as hell can put satellites in space.
Mr. Everyday, have you ever watched any streaming programmes from NASA. Many crewed launches are narrated by a guy named Ron Naveas. Mr. Naveas has been doing the job for quite a while now. I remember listening to him when he proved what us Canadians call an 'Instant Replay'. KIBO 9KEE-boh) has been stuck on ISS for quite a while now. So have the flying of Japanese astronaut, the King of is Soichi Wakata (but on that I'n not sure). You've never heard anyone use KIBO with you. This may seem petty and trivial to you. Here's why I bring it up. To the average person in the street, they know absolutely nothing about crewed spaceflight history. You are one of the mediazzi that presents himself as an expert on things astronautic. ISS having been in orbit, in dribs and drabs, for a quarter-century (it ain't going to de-orbitin 6 years. The module gaskets still work), I would have expected you to hear KIBO dozens of times. Plus, there's a whole section of the viewing public who are either Japanese, or of Japanese origin. They want to know, and TRUST that you know what you're talking about.
You know if there was a robot smart enough it could be launched from a small rocket an make me a nice luxury space station for free,,maybe i would let you visit some time,no probably not.
I am still stuck on the post-World War 2 agreement that limits Japan's capacity to build weapons for military use. To think that the US imposed an embargo on Japan because of Japan's aggression in China for resources, which then forced Japan to respond by bombing Pearl Harbour, which then "forced" the USA to murder millions through the Hiroshima bombing and to leave parts of the country a barren wasteland due to radioactive poisoning, which would go on to kill, deform and cause cancer in people for generations. How dear the US imposes their sanctimonious self on other countries!
*I love Japan and I wish them the very best but the truth is they are really behind every other country with a Space program. They really need to take a step back and organize a better strategy such as reusable rockets or at least ones that can make it to orbit better than 60% of the time. Again, this isn't a jab at Japan.* 🤔

Amazing, discovered a lot, thank you ! < 3
Japan has been incredibly successful, even with the post-war constraints in the past. Imagine what they could have achieved with no restrictions!
No restrictions they would have been like their anime, world conquering.
Imagine the mechs in space
They would live comfortably by now if they kept what they gained and not expanded further into China then attacked the US.
