I trust that your efforts will be able to serve real LRE tracking and processing. NASDA plans to launch and inject LRE (Laser Ranging Equipment) aboard new H-IIA Launch Vehicle No.1 into orbit with a perigee of 250 km, an apogee 36200 km and inclination of 28.5 degrees on 25 August. The mission objective of LRE is to evaluate an orbit injected by H-IIA Launch Vehicle No.1 precisely using SLR tracking data. As satellite Laser ranging data obtained at world-wide SLR network are necessary for orbit determination and its evaluation, I would appreciate it if your station could observe LRE immediately after the orbit injection. NASDA set the date of the H-IIA Launch Vehicle No.1 as indicated below. 1. Target Launch Date : August 25(Saturday), 2001 2. Reserved Period : August 26(Sunday) - September 30(Sunday) 3. Target Launch Time : 04:00 - 09:00 (UTC) 4. Launch Site : H-IIA Launch Complex, Tanegashima Space Center Detail information about LRE is maintained on a website on the internet, which can be found at : http://god.tksc.nasda.go.jp/lr/lre.html Should you wish for further information or have any problems concerning LRE tracking , please feel free to contact to my colleague, Takashi Uchimura or me. I hope that things are going well for you and also new H-IIA, and thank you in advance.
