Science/Utilization: – JSSOD #5, 6 and NRCSD #9 –
Maybe the NRCSD number is incorrect, because NRCSD# 9 was already done in September.

There was a Nanoracks tweet - see this thread https://twitter.com/planet4589/status/779477824864387072

From the research I've done; H-III doesn't seem to be any more powerful than H-IIB - just designed to be cheaper and faster to deploy.
