Public Affairs Department
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Marunouchi Kitaguchi Building, 1-6-5, Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-8260 Japan TEL: +81-3-6266-6400 January 24, 2006 Launch Result of "Daichi" (ALOS) / H-IIA F8 The H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 8 (H-IIA F8) with the Advanced Land Observing Satellite "Daichi"(ALOS) onboard was launched at 10:33 a.m. on January 24, 2006 (Japan Standard Time, JST [0133 UTC]). The initial flight angle (azimuth) was 115 degrees. The launch vehicle flew smoothly, and, at 16 minutes and 30 seconds after liftoff, the Daichi separation was confirmed. The Perth first mobile station in Australia started receiving signals from the ALOS at 10:52 a.m. (JST [0152 UTC]), and by those signals, JAXA confirmed that the solar array paddle deployment was successfully completed. We would like to express our profound appreciation for the cooperation and support of all related personnel and organizations that helped contribute to the successful launch of the H-IIA F8.

Its power generation is also normal. The station started receiving the signals at 12:31 p.m. (Japan Standard Time, JST [0331 UTC]) at the time of the revolution. JAXA launched "Daichi" on the H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 8 from the Tanegashima Space Center at 10:33 a.m. on January 24, 2006 (JST [0133 UTC]). PDL deployment images are shown in the attached sheets. The next press release is scheduled to be issued at around 8:00 p.m. [1100 UTC] on January 24 (JST).
