Would they human rate the H3. I was thinking of SNC DC in regards to this.

initally no. That would be mandatory to do so under separate joint MHI/JAXA project. Since there ia not a crew project it is yet to be planned in the development schedule

They want to have a common motor for SRB-3 and Epsilon first stage. Only difference would be the nosecap and the H3 solids would not use TVC (but will try to use as many common parts of the nozzle as possible).

PDR early 2016, CDR late 2017, first launch 2020. They should be starting to build the engine test stand about now.

This article shows a CGI image by JAXA of the H-III being raised from a horizontal position on a strongback.



-Are the solid rocket boosters small and light enough for this to work, or does it have to be all-liquid?
-Will the VAB be dismantled and replaced with a horizontal integration facility, or will the rocket still be assembled vertically, then lowered to a horizontal position for transport to the launch pad?
I know this doesn't matter anymore in regards to the current plan, but it turns out that there would have been enough room for a horizontal vehicle assembly building between the current VAB and the block house (I came across the image here)

Launch pad ML2 is upgraded for this rocket.

I learn something new, there were three ‘movable launchers’.

yes and if launch rate ever becomes high enough all three can be upgraded to H-3 configuration
ML-2 is the only one still moved on rails and ML3 is the one that also hosts H-IIB (It basically lives in that configuration currently).
