New Launch Experiment Day of M-V-6
July 10, 2005
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
The M-V Launch Vehicle No. 6 (M-V-6) with the 23rd scientific satellite
(ASTRO-EII) onboard was launched at 12:30 p.m. on July 10, 2005
(Japan Standard Time, JST) from the Uchinoura Space Center (USC).
The launcher was set to a vertical angle of 80.2 degrees, and the
flight azimuth was 87.6 degrees.
The launch vehicle flew smoothly, and the third stage motor was
ignited at 205 seconds after liftoff. The third stage flight was also
smooth, and after its motor burnout, it was confirmed to be safely
injected into its scheduled orbit of an apogee altitude of
approximately 247 km and a perigee altitude of approximately 560 km
with an inclination of approximately 31.4 degrees.
JAXA received signals from the ASTRO-EII at the Santiago tracking
station and the USC, and from those signals we verified that the
ASTRO-EII had successfully separated.
The in-orbit ASTRO-EII was given the International Designator of
2005-025A and a nickname of "Suzaku."
We would like to express our appreciation for the cooperation and
support from all related personnel and organizations that helped
contribute to the successful launch of the M-V-6.
The weather at the time of the launch was slightly cloudy with a wind
speed of 7m/s from the west-south-west, and the temperature was 31.7
degrees Celsius.
