The Japanese-developed H-2A rocket, carrying a 4-ton observation satellite, lifts off from the launching pad at Tanegashima Space Center on Tanegashima island in southern Japan



The satellite, which will orbit about 690 km above the Earth, is intended to collect topographic data to contribute to cartography and capture images of disaster-hit areas anywhere in the world as part of Japan's international cooperation.

The H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 8 (H-IIA F8) with the Advanced Land Observing Satellite "Daichi"(ALOS) onboard was launched at 10:33 a.m. on January 24, 2006 (Japan Standard Time, JST.) The initial flight angle (azimuth) was 115 degrees.
The launch vehicle flew smoothly, and, at 16 minutes and 30 seconds after liftoff, the Daichi separation was confirmed.
The Perth first mobile station in Australia started receiving signals from the ALOS at 10:52 a.m. (JST), and by those signals, JAXA confirmed that the solar array paddle deployment was successfully completed.
