Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Japan\u2019s aerospace exploration agency JAXA on Thursday successfully launched an H-IIA Launch Vehicle to put the new IGS-Radar 7 reconnaissance satellite into orbit, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Launch Services said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has launched the H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 46 at 10:50 [a.m. local time, 01:50 GMT] on Jan. 26, 2023 JST from the Tanegashima Space Center,\u201d MHI Launch Services tweeted. According to the company, the satellite has already successfully separated from the rocket.<\/p>\n

IGS-Radar 7 is a new reconnaissance satellite developed by Mitsubishi Electric. The satellite is a part of the Japanese government\u2019s Information Gathering Satellite (IGS) reconnaissance satellite launch program, the main goal of which is to ensure the country\u2019s independence in obtaining satellite information.<\/p>\n

Currently, Japan has several optical reconnaissance and radar satellites in orbit. Optical satellites survey the Earth, including military targets, during the day and radar satellites monitor the Earth\u2019s surface at night or in conditions of poor visibility.<\/p>\n
