Jill Robbins: 日本宇宙航空研究开发机构(JAXA)成功发射了一颗导航卫星,旨在开发更精确的定位系统。这次发射是H-3火箭的最新一次发射,携带了“引路6号”卫星。日本计划到2026年3月拥有一个七颗卫星的系统,到2030年代末拥有一个11颗卫星的网络,以减少对外国服务的依赖,并满足公司对太空发射服务的需求,提高其在卫星发射市场的地位。我认为这次发射对日本的太空计划和国家安全至关重要。 Makoto Arita: 作为H-3项目的负责人,我认为这次发射非常成功。一切都按计划进行,卫星在发射后约29分钟成功与火箭分离。我对这次发射的结果感到非常满意,并期待着卫星在二月中旬进入预定轨道。这次成功也为我们未来的卫星发射任务奠定了坚实的基础。
