New Stage in Japanese Space Transportation

JAXA is developing a new large-scale launch vehicle, the H-IIB, which is an upgraded version of the H-IIA launch vehicle. Its first launch, scheduled for 2009, will lift into space the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), which is designed to deliver supplies to the International Space Station (ISS).
With the cutting-edge technology of the H-IIB and the HTV, Japan is ready to make a great leap forward in the coming space era.
