H-IIA Launch Vehicle

The H-IIA Launch Vehicle is a reliable Japanese rocket used to send satellites into space. It consists of multiple stages that work together: the first stage provides the initial thrust to lift off, while the second stage continues to carry the satellite to its desired orbit. Powered by liquid engines, it offers precise control and high performance for a variety of missions, including telecommunications, Earth observation, and scientific research. Developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries with support from Japan’s space agency, the H-IIA has a strong track record of successful launches since its debut in 2001.
