Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
National Research and Development Agency
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) are pleased to announce the launch schedule for Global Changing Observation Mission - Climate "SHIKISAI" (GCOM-C) and Super Low Altitude Test Satellite "TSUBAME" (SLATS) by H-IIA launch vehicle No. 37.
Scheduled date of Launch : December 23 (Sat.), 2017
Launch time : 10:26:22 a.m. through 10:48:22 a.m. (JST)
Reserved Launch period : December 24 (Sun.), 2017 through January 31 (Wed.), 2018
Launch site : Yoshinobu Launch Complex at the tanegashima Space Center
H-IIA Launch vehicle No. 37 incorporates JAXA's newly developed outcome to insert SHIKISAI and TSUBAME into different orbit altitude respectively. It will expand opportunities of multiple satellite launch and take full advantage of the capability of HIIA.

Note that as of right now, the start of the launch window for this falls on the
exact same minute
(!!!) as for the launch of Falcon 9/Iridium NEXT Flight 4 on the opposite side of the Pacific. IF (a very big one) this ultimately happens the two will be <=37 seconds apart,
which will be an all time record
.
I very much doubt both will manage to hold on schedule to that point with 57 days left but.....one never knows for sure when will we need split screens.
Technical info on GCOM-C can be found
here
, and for SLATS
here

It seems that photos of the spacecraft and rocket haven't been posted yet, so they are here.
