3. Space-Related Activities Japanese space-related projects are comparable to the world standard. We have successfully developed launch vehicles such as the M-Ⅴ and H-ⅡA, and also in the satellite field, we have contributed to the development of various engineering test satellites, observation satellites, global navigation satellites, etc. The development technologies of H-ⅡA were transferred to a private sector. The company has received a commercial order to launch South Korean satellite on an H-ⅡA rocket: expectations are mounting for launch of more commercial satellites in the future. Meanwhile, the H-

ⅡB rocket, an upgrade model of the H-ⅡA, has been developed. It was first production used in a successful launch of the H-ⅡTransfer Vehicle (HTV) in September 2009. The HTV, an unmanned cargo transporter, carries supplies to the International Space Station (ISS).The second launch of H-ⅡB was also successful in January 2011.In recent years, space exploration and usage have become a major part of the overall industry activities. Japanese producers now strive to increase reliability and reduce costs in order to compete in the global market.

Ⅰ Continuous Expansion of Japanese Aerospace Industry

After the end of the Second World War, expansion of the aerospace industry in Japan steadily relied for its defense demands on other countries, and in recent years, international joint development of civil aircraft has further increased. In space operations, development of transportation and satellite systems has been promoted and increased. In this way, the Japanese aerospace industry is being continually advanced to stand alongside those in the US and EU.

1. Significance of Aerospace IndustryThe aerospace industry is characterized by the following strategic components.・ By integrating advanced technologies with high-grade

materials and components, the aerospace industry utilizes a wide range of supporting industries, and its technology also spreads to other industries, thus benefiting the economy as a whole.

・ Through high-speed transpor tat ion, disaster prevention and other similar activities, this industry contributes to improve the daily lives of the people of Japan.

・ As one of the most important components of defense, the aerospace industry is directly linked to national security.

2. Aircraft-Related Activities … …For a certain period after the end of the war, Japan was forbidden from any activities related to the development and production of aircraft, and our aerospace industry thus fell behind those of the US and Europe. Starting with the licensed production of defense aircraft, national development and production systems have grown. The development and manufacture of defense aircraft was the base of the Japanese aerospace industry, and in recent years the F-2 fighter (a joint Japan-US project), the OH-1 observation helicopter, the T-7 trainer US-2 amphibious search & rescue flying boat have been successfully developed and produced in this country. The P-1 Fixed-Wing Maritime Patrol Aircraft is being delivered. Delivery of the XC-2 Next-Generation Transport Aircraft will start in 2011.With a steady increase in passenger transportation, Japanese producers are fur ther developing and manufacturing civil aircraft, and the importance of this industry has thus risen. In the 1960s, Japan focused on the YS-11 transport aircraft and other similar projects. More recently, international joint development has become main stream due to the enlargement of the airline industry in general, which has gone global, and thus the risks have increased as well. Currently, Japan is participating in the development of aircraft such as the B767, B777 and B787, and engines such as the V2500, TRENT1000, GEnx, etc.

Dependence of Defense Contracts on Major Countries4. Japanese Aerospace Industry SalesThe aerospace industry in Japan has steadily increased to a total of 1,356 billion yen (with aircraft-related activities accounting for 1,086 billion yen and space-related activities accounting for 270 billion yen). As of 2009, a total of 31,561 persons were employed in this industry, with 25,220 and 6,341 persons involved in aircraft-related and space-related activities respectively. A recent and slight decrease in employment numbers can be attributed to an increase in overall efficiency. The propor tion of defense aircraft stood at one time between 80% and 90% of total sales, and export components of civil aircraft have increased since the late 1990s along with the promotion of multinational

development projects. Consequently, defense-related products currently are around 50% of total sales. The Japanese aerospace industry is compared with those of foreign countries in the chart right. The United States is overwhelmingly large, and various EU countries, Canada and Japan follow.When compared with the automobile, home electric, computer and other industries in Japan, the aerospace industr y is still relatively small. Much is therefore expected of Japanese producers over the coming years. The trade balance has been in deficit due to the large amount of airline’s procurement of aircraft from abroad.

Ⅱ Japanese Aircraft Industry Aircraft for National Defense

Japan’s defense aircraft industry was reborn in 1952 with aircraft such as the F-86F and T-33 manufactured under license from the United States, in 1958, Japan’s first jet trainer was developed and produced. Many significant steps in the advancement of the design and manufacturing technologies have followed. Today, Japanese aircraft manufacturers have their own capability to develop, produce and maintain a wide range of defense aircraft, such as fighters, transporters, patrol planes, trainers and search & rescue vessels, which has thus contributed to the national defense.

Developed jointly by Japan and the United States, the F-2 support fighter is used in multiple roles, such as tactical air support and maritime operations, close air support and defensive counter-air operations. Highly regarded both at home and overseas, this fighter features a host of advanced technologies developed indigenously in Japan.

・Co-cured composite wingsIn order to achieve lightweight aircraft, co-cured composite material technology was applied for the first time in wing construction. This technology has subsequently been transferred to the United States, and some wings are now produced by American manufacturers utilizing this technology.

・Digital fly-by-wireDigital fly-by-wire technologies have been adopted to achieve higher agility - the heartbeat of today’s fighter - and by combining these technologies with lightweight wings, the world’s highest standards of maneuverability, acceleration and many other agility-related factors have been achieved. The carefree digital flight control allows the F-2 to automatically prevent dangerous flying conditions, and this has contributed to increase flight safety.

・Active phased-array radarRadar provides a fighter with eyes, and the F-2 is the first fighter in the world to feature active phased-array radar technology. Thanks to this type of system, it has been possible to achieve standoff and anti-ship attack capabilities of the highest standard.

2. Aircraft Development …Japan Ministry of Defense is currently developing, and delivering following types of aircraft.

・Search & Rescue Flying BoatIn l996, development of a successor to the US-1A was started, and its first flight was successfully completed in December 2003. US-2 (former US-1A kai) delivery to the base started in March 2007.

Following this, a total of four weather satellites were put into operation, allowing valuable weather-related information to be supplied domestically and throughout the Asian region. Furthermore, projects have launched Multi-Purpose Transportation Satellites (MTSAT) as successors to these earlier satellites for weather monitoring and air-traffic control.MTSAT No.1 and 2 were launched in February 2005 and February 2006, and they are currently in operation.

2.…Communication & Broadcasting Satellites…………In addition to launching its Sakura series of satellites for communication and its Yuri series for broadcasting, Japan has also developed the technologies required to make practical use of these satellites’ capabilities. As a result of the delivered benefits, Japan has also established technologies for satellite communication and broadcasting; furthermore, we currently supply satellite systems to overseas operators of communication systems. Satellites made in foreign countries used to dominate the Japanese market, however successes like the receipt of orders for the Superbird 7 satellite, which is made by a Japanese company, help to advance Japan’s competitiveness in the international market. Currently, the Wideband InterNetworking engineering test and Demonstration Satellite "KIZUNA" (WINDS) is being operated. It performs essential technical demonstrations in order to speed up and enlarge the capacity of information networks. Also, Verifying Tests are underway on the Engineering Test SatelliteⅧ "KIKU No. 8" (ETS-Ⅷ), which is equipped with a large deployable antenna in order to achieve high-speed mobile communication technology.

3. Quasi-Zenith Satellite Systems ………Positioning information as presented by vehicle navigation systems is currently being put to practical use in a wide range of social fields, and the range of this usage is expected to increase even further over the coming years. The Quasi-Zenith Satellite-1 "MICHIBIKI" was launched in September 2010 and the verifying tests are underway.

4. Remote Sensing ………The importance of remote sensing missions such as global observation and resource surveying is expected to become ever more important. In terms of the latter, the monitoring of global sur face temperature, heat radiation and other characteristics is carried out by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) flying on NASA’ s Terra Satellite, and this imaging instrument has been providing extremely valuable data since 2000. As part of multinational monitoring activities for global climate change, the Advanced Land Observing Satellite "DAICHI" (ALOS) was launched in January 2006, The Satellite equipped with the sensor PALSAR etc. which have been widely used for mapping, global observation, determining the status of disasters, etc.The Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite "IBUKI" (GOSAT) lifted off in January 2009. It is monitoring the distribution of carbon dioxide and methane, which are considered greenhouse gases.

5. Other Projects ………Japan is also actively involved in ef for ts related to satellites for the observation of astronomical bodies and the verification of various technologies. In l995, the Space-Flyer Unit (SFU) carried out a host of measurements and experiments in space before being recovered by a Japanese astronaut riding on the Space Shuttle. The Selenological and Engineering Explorer "KAGUYA" (SELENE) was launched in September 2007. It is part of the largest lunar mission since the Apollo Program. The explorer was put in regular operation in October of that year. It ended its mission in June 2009 after completing 15 observation missions. The Asteroid Explorer "HAYABUSA"(MUSES-C) launched in May 2003 successfully landed on Itokawa asteroid in November 2005 and came back to Earth in June 2010 after travelling over 6 billion kilometers. It ended its mission with a brilliant achievement after releasing the capsule containing the asteroid surface sample.

Satellite Development

The most imperative usage of space is to assure national security, social peace and activities. In 1970, Japan launched its first satellite, Oosumi, becoming the fourth spacefaring nation to launch a domestically manufactured satellite using a rocket of her own. Then in 1977, Japan successfully launched a geosynchronous orbit satellite. With technical capabilities rating among the best in the world, Japan is currently involved in the development and production of satellite systems, onboard sensors and components.

1. Weather Satellites ………The first satellite launched for practical use by Japan was the Himawari weather satellite of l977. Following this, a total of four weather satellites were put into operation, allowing valuable weather-related information to be supplied domestically and throughout the Asian region. Furthermore, projects have launched Multi-Purpose Transportation Satellites (MTSAT) as successors to these earlier satellites for weather monitoring and air-traffic control.MTSAT No.1 and 2 were launched in February 2005 and February 2006, and they are currently in operation.

2.…Communication & Broadcasting Satellites…………In addition to launching its Sakura series of satellites for communication and its Yuri series for broadcasting, Japan has also developed the technologies required to make practical use of these satellites’ capabilities.
