Flame deflector cooling is initiated. Water spray system is initiated. System at launch point is activated. Flight mode on. Hydrogen purge igniter on. All systems ready for launch. H-III rocket was launched from Tanegashima Space Center at 12.6.42. We have attacked H-III launch vehicle flight No. 3 from JAXA Tanegashima Space Center at 10.42 p.m. Since the launch, the rocket has been pulled from the launch control tower to the tower. Operation control of H-III has been switched from launch control center to range control center. H-III is now flying above Pacific Ocean to the east. One minute to launch. H-III is now flying above Pacific Ocean to the east. Station are tracking the launch vehicle and all is good. Switch booster separation. Currently, Tanegashima and Uchinoura ground stations are tracking H-III. The combustion of first stage engine, attitude control, and trajectories are all nominal. H-III rocket was launched successfully. I was holding my breath. No, the fairing is going to be separated soon. Yes, payload fairing separation was successful. Yes, altitude and speed, I think those are on course. And this ray here is the real-time CG image that we are getting information from the satellite on real-time. Flight indicator for public is a name. So what we call this is H-III-V. This is a simulation images. You see the rocket in the center indicated in circle. And from Tanegashima, you see trajectory of a launch from Tanegashima. And you see events to be expected. Next one is first stage engine cutoff followed by first stage, second stage separation. And after that, if we get the signal, the circle will be solid after we receive signal from the satellite. And that is how this display works. And on the left-hand side stop, you have speed, and this is per hour. Therefore, the number is quite big. 15,000 is the speed per hour, and you have altitude next to it. Soon we have a first stage engine cutoff. Yes, right. We see second stage engine ignition. It really makes us quite nervous. Now, until second engine cutoff or air loss for separation, we have some time. So let us explain to you using this. Now, second stage engine ignition started, and 324 kilometers in altitude was the expectation, and 12,600 kilometer per hour was the expected speed. So let me calculate. Oh, well, we see speed coming down again. Let us watch the flip-flop sometime now. But anyway, if the engine is being combusted, the acceleration should happen. Now, on the left-hand side, we see some shaky numbers. Seven minutes into flight. Well, I guess everything is on course and normal. Expected altitude going to be after this. Well, we saw the second stage engine ignition. No problem. Well, probably the data I was watching was different from the one that they are watching. Anyway, we are smoothly making flight. First speed about 3.5 kilometers per second. So from here, after 16 minutes after the launch, the separation of air loss will happen. So probably two stages will bring the satellite onto the orbit. Sorry, I think we made you concerned, but I was watching different information. So as broadcast indicated, flight is on course. Thank you. So we'd like to recap our situation. So this launch, we thought that it's going very straight in the sky. But actually, it seems like it's tilted with the car. So the satellite is actually going around the Earth. So it has a large speed to go around the Earth. Of course, not to drop to the Earth. So the satellite is to come to the orbit. So we need to have the acceleration to do that. And so we need to put in the orbit. So if we actually go straight, then we cannot get into the orbit. So we can have the rocket to be tilted and to put in the process. So 600 of the altitude, it's increasing. Of course, we shouldn't be really feeling. So for the H3 characteristics, there is a high liability. And so this liability means, to be specific, how are you securing that? That is a good question. So as mentioned in the explanation before, so I mentioned about H3. So we mentioned about high liability. So H2A or H2B, of course, we learned from them. And from the designing perspective, so for example, let's say that one equipment is actually failed one time in 10 times. And so then the actual situation from the design perspective is different. So from the design, this H3, the possibility of the failure, we actually trying to minimize that. And also we have the redundancy and also the liable design that we. So the high liability design that we worked on, so this is a third one that we worked on. So the satellite that can be mounted on the rocket, so we need to have the safety and the reliable rocket. We need to have more experiences. So that's what we want to do in the future. So we want to be successful with the launch, and we need to gain the trust from people. And, of course, we can rely on the design, but also we can accumulate the experiences. And as you mentioned about the brand, so we want to establish the brand. So for the second stage will be cut off, and also the first stage will be separated. Those are the events that we are waiting for. It's nominal. The combustion of the second stage engine, altitude control, and the trajectories are all nominal. The H3 flight is on course. Current altitude is about 619 kilometers. Velocity is about 5 kilometers per second. I feel very comfortable after we hear all these announcements. So the rocket is going, which speed is it going to be? So depending on the altitude, the speed is different. This stage 4 will be per second 7.5 or 6 that accelerates. Right now you see 20,000 per hour, so I think 27,000 that needs to be accelerated. So the satellite needs to maintain themselves to use their fuel, so they need to control themselves. So how the satellite can save their energy is something that it's... So how the rocket can support the satellite is a very important role. As you saw in the video, the width of observation expansion was very much of the strength. Even if you rotate around the Earth at the same time, if you have a wider range of observation, you can gather more information. So LSR developed by Mitsubishi enables that to happen, so we have a very high expectation and looking forward to that. So I guess LS4 is going to be utilized for various many applications. The radar satellites are being launched by private sectors one after another. As I introduced earlier, agriculture application is one way to use satellites. And not only disaster situation, but also our day-to-day life will be supported by radar satellites. So we have a very high expectation. One and a half minutes to go before the second engine, number one, cut off, then followed by LS4 separation. The launch is being done by private sector companies, including Japanese companies. The combustion of the second stage engine, attitude control and trajectories are all nominal. The 83 flight is on course. Current altitude is about 620 km. Velocity is about 6.9 km per second. So, soon to cut off the second engine, ignition number one. There will be separation of LS4 very soon. LS4 separation. Yes, LS4 separation was confirmed. Yes, very safely, so relieved. LS4 separation. We were able to put the LS4 onto the orbit. So, we could be successful. Please, we are pleased to announce that the successful launch of DAICHI 4. I'm sorry, I was too excited and I couldn't really talk. But, I'm sorry, in the middle I was actually concerned. But, I'm very happy. So, this DAICHI 4 actually could launch the real satellite. So, we could actually demonstrate that that's possible. And, that is very significant. Also, as Okada project manager last time mentioned. So, he mentioned that this is the start of the new life. And, we just started the walk. So, we just step forward by being able to do this. And, also we have a lot of launches. So, maybe those who support will be very busy. Because, we would have a lot of launches. So, I think you will be very busy. And, I'll keep you busy. And, also I know that it's very difficult to come to this site. But, we would have more frequent launches. Which means that you can actually have more occasion to come here. And, maybe you can live here as well. If you are interested in Tanegashima, then please consider to live here. And, also for the DAICHI 4. So, what would be the DAICHI 4 plan? So, right now in the orbit right now. So, it's not something that we can use immediately. So, first of all we need to place altitude. And, also they need to use a solar panel to open up their power to save their energy. And, also we need to confirm their performance. And, after this. So, the data. So, once we obtain the data. So, we need to do some reconfigurations. And, also we need to adjust. So, these works would require six months to do this. And, as I mentioned. So, to use for the disaster. And, also the data that would be available after six months I believe. So, this start up at scale. It would actually require a little bit more time. So, we need to be patient. So, from DAICHI 4. So, the first data we are very looking forward from the first phase. And, so the results of the second stage control reentry of the H3 launch vehicle. And, the operation status of the H4 will be announced at the Polaris launch press conference today. And, the press conference will be streamed live on the JAXA.
