Together with Planet-C JAXA will launch the first IKAROS test satellite. The satellite has a 20 m solar sail.

A bigger one with a 50 m sail and ion engine will come later.

Hopefully it'll fare better than Japan's last solar sail did.

Can someone point me to information about viewing launches in Japan?  In English if possible.  I'm a big fan of Ben Cooper's page for shuttle launch viewing -- something like that would be awesome.

I'm asking for a friend who lives in Tokyo and probably isn't going to make it to Florida to see a shuttle launch -- especially considering the fickleness of launch dates in general, and the expense of traveling that far.

?? - H-2A - GPM

That's GPM-Core (not to be confused with the related GPM-LIO satellite which is manifested for Taurus). Launch is scheduled for July 2013 according to MSDB.

According to the link you provided, HTV-1 is NET 9/1 = September 1, not September 9.

Maybe September 8 / September 9 is the same launch time, could be related to time zones difference.
