There is no IGS satellite launch using the H-IIA scheduled for this year.
Quote from: Vahe231991 on 07/08/2021 03:56 amThere is no IGS satellite launch using the H-IIA scheduled for this year.I suspected this would be true, given Fuji's information.However, do you have a source? (If your source is Wikipedia: Remember, at best, it is a secondary level source.)
H-IIA F47 is for the XRISM and SLIM missions

Is there a defined number of remaining H-IIA launch vehicles? Seeking confirmation, clarification, or correction.I have selected the remaining H-IIA launches from the launch schedule (plus one that I was not sure about that is TBD 2021). Are there any missing, or launching together?
The H-2A rocket is scheduled to be retired after the 50th launch. On the other hand, the H3 rocket, which is the next flagship rocket, is facing difficulties in development, including two postponements of its launch. However, Mr. Takeshi Tokunaga, Deputy General Manager of the Space Business Division, Defense and Space Segment, said, "We are not considering additional production of the H-2A after Unit 50."
The H-2A rocket is scheduled to be retired after its 50th launch. Meanwhile, the development of the H3 rocket, the next-generation core rocket, has been difficult, as its launch has been postponed twice. However, Ken Tokunaga, deputy general manager of the Space Business Department of the company's Defense & Space Segment and executive officer for H-2A launches, says, "We are not planning any additional production after the 50th H-2A launch vehicle.
