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

It was NET 9/9 in that time.

Oh... I wonder why it flip-flopped?

I do not know, but according to http://www.nasa.gov/directorates/somd/reports/iss_reports/2009/07032009.html HTV-1 launch is planned on September 8.

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

According to the MSDB entry for one of the payloads to be launched aboard HTV-3, it is scheduled for launch on 1 April 2011.

Here http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2009/07/20090708_h2b_e.html is the official announcment of the HTV-1 launch time.
That should be 5:04 p.m. on Sept, 10th UTC.

According to the Japan Meterological Agency Mitsubishi Electric will built Himawari 8 and 9 for 29,398 Billion Yen around 300 Million US-Dollar.

Launch will be in 2014 and 2016.

Any word on the HTV launch?

JAXA informs that H-IIA Flight 16 with optical IGS is under preparation. But no flight date yet.

tul · « **Reply #169 on:** 10/01/2009 12:45 pm »

H-IIA Flight 16 with IGS Optical 3 is booked for 28.11 or later.

It seems next launch after Sprint-A/Exceed (former TOPS) for the new solid fueled rocket will be ERG in 2013. (Might become Sprint-B).

http://sprg.isas.jaxa.jp/gaibuhyoka/plasma-4.pdf

Also NEDO reported that ASNARO might get launched with this rocket as well. However if I undestood it correctly the Ministry of Science, Education ... originally requested for FY 2010 around 6 billion Yen ~ 60 million US-Dollar for the development, but now it seems will be only 2 billion Yen.

ERG (Energization and Radiation in Geospace) will study the Earth's radiation belt. It will be launched to be in phase with the maximum of the solar cycle, like other similar missions (RBSP for the US, ORBITALS for Canada, RESONANCE for Russia, and Kua Fu for China)

3 - November 28 (0121UTC) - H-2A/202 (F16) - IGS Optical-3

It seems to me that the satellite launched on November 28 was IGS optical-5, IGS optical-3 was launched on Sept 11, 2006.

It seems to me that the satellite launched on November 28 was IGS optical-5, IGS optical-3 was launched on Sept 11, 2006.

That satellite was the IGS Optical-2 launched to replace the problematic IGS Optical-1, but noute that the first IGS Optical-2 was lost on the 2003 H-2A launch failure.

One of the satellites that was launched on February 24, 2007 was the 'Optical-3 Verification Satellite' or 'IGS Experimental Optical-3', that tested the payloads for the IGS Optical-3 now launched.

Rui,

Looking at the list of IGS satellites on the Japanese Wikipedia website at:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%83%85%E5%A0%B1%E5%8F%8E%E9%9B%86%E8%A1%9B%E6%98%9F
There seems to be two different items in Japanese: the satellite name ("衛星名") and its model number ("形式番号").
Concerning the satellite launched last Satuday, its name in Japanese is "光学3号機" ( Kougaku-3) which translates as "Optical-3" ,without reference to "IGS", while its model number could logically be IGS-5.

The next SAR version will be "レーダ3号機" (Reda-3) which translates as "Radar-3"

Edit on Jan 20, 2010:
The Japanese Wikipedia website referenced above has now a "Japanese government announced Satellite Name" (光学3号機= Optical-3) and a NORAD identification (IGS-5A)

Planet-C launch campaign will be on May 18.

GCOM-W launch is planned for November 1st 2011. Launch of GCOM-W2 as mentioned in another thread is early 2016. GCOM-C is planned to be ready around summer 2014.

As hinted on the JAXA page, Astro-G has run into some problems. No launch before 2013.
