Craft celebrating the launch of the QZS-1R Mission on the H-IIA 202 rocket by MHI
Mission : QZS-1R
The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) is a three-satellite regional time transfer system and the satellite-based augmentation system for the GPS that would be receivable within Japan. The primary purpose of QZSS is to increase the availability of GPS in Japan’s numerous urban canyons, where only satellites at very high elevation can be seen. A secondary function is performance enhancement, increasing the accuracy and reliability of GPS derived navigation solutions.
QZS-1R is a replacement satellite for QZS-1 which was launched in 2010.
Where are the satellites going? :
Quasi-zenith orbit (geosynchronous orbit, at a 45° inclination)
8863 x 8863 km (45º inclination)
(according to Droo Orbital Mechanics)
The quasi-zenith orbit (QZO) for QZSS is shaped like a figure eight with north-south asymmetry. This makes satellites on this orbit spend more time in the northern hemisphere (around 13 hours versus 11 hours in the southern hemisphere) and remain near Japan for a long period of time.
Rocket: H-IIA 202
H-IIA (H2A) is an active expendable launch system operated by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. The liquid-fueled H-IIA rockets have been used to launch satellites into geostationary orbit, to launch a lunar orbiting spacecraft, and to launch Akatsuki, which studied the planet Venus. Launches occur at the Tanegashima Space Center.

Craft Notes:
- Auto-Launch to Orbit by Preprogrammed Vizzy. (Throttle 100%)
- Multiple Pad and Rocket Camera setups
- Preprogrammed Vizzy till > 300km Circular Orbit (45º inclination)
*Fairing Deploy to be done after 100 km AGL (manuallly)
*FInal orbit insertion (Quasi-zenith orbit - 8863 x 8863 km) and payload deploy to be done manually
