The third Japanese H2 booster will be launched on 15 March, after delays caused by technical problems with one of its payloads, the Space Flyer Unit. The other payload is the GMS 5 weather satellite. The launch, during an unprecedented period outside the usual January-February and August- September windows, was agreed with the Japanese fishing industry, which has won restrictions on launches over its fishing grounds (Flight International, 15-21 February).
