Second Go/No Go Decision -'Go'

Final checks have been made for operational conditions of the launch vehicle, satellites, launch facilities, and tracking and control systems, as well as weather conditions. We now have gotten a go-ahead for loading the propellant, such as liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, into the launch vehicle. Propellant loading preparations are going to start.
Terminal countdown operation to start
February 17, 2016 09:20 JST
Terminal countdown operation has started. Access will now be restricted within a radius of 400 meters from the launch pad.
