Japan plans to launch 18 earth orbiters, including four spy satellites,
through 2007 under a newly arrayed schedule of rockets shots, an
official says.
The first of the spy satellites is scheduled for launch next month,
with others slated for 2004, 2005 and 2006.
The schedule forms the basis for space exploration policy after the
nation's three aerospace agencies merge this October into the Japan
Aerospace Exploration Agency, said the deputy director of space
development at the ministry of science and education.
Among the planned missions: A moon observation satellite, a sun
observation satellite, two star observation satellites, a broadband
Internet satellite, a greenhouse gas monitoring satellite, a weather
satellite and an orbiter to monitor rainfall.
