Epsiron and SPRINT-A special site.
http://fanfun.jaxa.jp/countdown/epsilon/index.html

JAXA is broadcast live via the Internet from the Uchinoura Space Center planetary spectroscopy observation of the Epsilon launch vehicle （ SPRINT-A launch of the. Recruit school, street vision, Science Museum offers delivery company will deliver this footage, such as Internet, cell phones and smart phones, tablet computers, will broadcast stations including CS, CATV, IP broadcasters and public viewing. Together, support the "Epsilon" mission! Also due to the special site open to recruitment by the Twitter messages of support we have started. Is the hashtag "# Epsilon cheer" is. I look forward to supporting messages for Epsilon rocket / planetary spectroscopy observation satellite project team to launch.

Epsilon's twitter hash tag is # Epsilon cheer in Japanese.That is # epsilon(katakana)Ouen(Chinese character)
Should you copy and paste to send message.Japanese hash tag is no good.

SPRINT-A launch press kit, I think: (In Japanese..)

Here's what I have gleaned from the press kit:
The Episilon rocket (Ipushironroketto, イプシロンロケット )
consists of the SRB-A3 with M-34c and KM-V2b
stages and a hydrazine PBS (Post-boost stage),
called
小型液体推進系
(Kogata ekitai suishin-kei, small liquid propulsion system)
in Japanese.

Rocket mission: Epsilon rocket test No. 1 (ipushironroketto shiken-ki 1-ki)
イプシロンロケット試験機１機
or ε－１
Satellite: Planet spectroscopic observation satellite No. 1, Wakusei bunko kansuko eisei 1-ki
惑星分光観測衛星１基) 284s.
Mass 340 kg. Size: Box + 2 wings, 4 x 1 x 1 m (6m span across solar arrays).
Design life 1 year.
Orbit 106 min, 950 x 1150 km x 31 deg.

The launch profile is


Time  Range  Alt   V-inertial (km/s)
T+0:00   0   0     0   Launch on 112 deg azimuth.
T+1:52  70  88   2.6  Stage 1 burnout
T+2:30 131 147   2.4  Fairing sep
T+2:41 148 162   2.4  Stage 1 sep
T+2:45 154 167   2.4  Stage 2 ignition
T+4:27 415 323   5.1  Stage 2 burnout
T+10:24 1658 822  4.2 Stage 2 sep
T+10:28 1671 823  4.2 Stage 3 ignition
T+11:57 2061 840  7.5 Stage 3 burnout
T+16:48 3846 864  7.4 Stage 3 sep
T+19:08 5943 896  7.4 PBS burn 1
T+29:58 7447 921  7.4 PBS cutoff 1
T+53:50 17431 1143 7.2 PBS burn 2
T+60:30 19020 1154 7.2 PBS cutoff 2
T+61:40 19722 1151 7.2 PBS/SPRINT-A separation

The ground track shows the first PBS burn begns over the N Pacfic at 170W 20N
and the second one just off the coast of Chile, with spacecraft
sep over the northeast coast of Argentina.

Stage 1 is 11.7m long 2.6m dia, with a mass of 75.0t (66.3t prop) thrust 2271N vac,
burn time 116s, Isp(v) 284s.
Stage 2 is 4.3m long (with nozzle extended), 2.2m dia, 12.3t (10.8t prop), 371.5kN, 105s burn, Isp 300s.
Stage 3 is 2.3m long (with nozzle extended), 1.4m dia, 3.3t (2.5t prop), 99.8 kN, 90s burn, Isp 301s.
PBS is 1.2m long 1.5m dia, 0.1t (0.1t prop), 0.4 kN, 1100s max burn time, Isp 215s.
Fairing is 11.1m long 2.6m dia, 1.0t mass.

---

While one may conclude the PBS empty mass is less than 100 kg,
it would be nice to know what it is (for space debris purposes).

The second stage impact zone appears to be centered at around 170E 25N.
It appears that both the third stage and the PBS will reach orbit, with the PBS
used for minor orbit adjustments.

It's not really inertial speed when your reference frame is the Earth rotating reference frame right. Hope they only mixed it up in the document and not in their code

Hmm - based on the later values I think they are indeed using inertial, not Earth rotating. But then the 0 value for launch is wrong, should be 0.34 or so...
good point.
