Japan launched a double-purpose satellite to monitor sea and greenhouse gas temperature.
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa) On Saturday (June 28) conducts 50th and final launch of H-2A rocket, removes dual-gual-puture satellite in space. The mission was lifted from Yoshinobu Launch Complex (LP-1) at the Tenegashima Space Center in Japan at 12:33 am June (1633 GMT; 1:33 in June 2:33 am on June 29, local time in Japan).
Greenhouse Gas Satellite and Water Sycle Satellite (GWS-GW) is the latest in Japan’s efforts to follow the changes in the greenhouse’s water and gas cycles. Gosat-GW joined its predecessors in the orbit of the earth: Com-w2been launched in 2012 and known as “Shizuku,” and Dare-1to be launched in 2009 and is known to “Ibuki.”
Gosat-GW is equipped with two main instruments.
The first known advanced microwave radiometer (AMSR), and measures water cycles and change the surface temperature. The second is the sensor sensor of the greenhouse sensor (bronze), and monitor substances such as carbon dioxide in the world’s carbon to measure climate change.
The H-2A rocket in Japan, built for Jaxa through Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, capable of launching the foremosts in a Geostationary Orbit around the land and to orbiting around the moon. It also launches Akatsuki spacecraft to study Venus in 2010, although spacecraft failed to properly enter Venusian orbit.
H-2A was first launched in 2001. In almost 25 years of operation, the rocket experienced only one failure to launch, which gives a 98% success rate. After 50 missions, car launches are now retired to travel to make for Japan H3 Rocketoffering similar performance at a lower cost.
