We aim at your deep understanding of the space development of Japan.
The 1970s
「What kind of rocket was developed in 1970?」 |
「N rocket was developed. 」 |
「N? Why?」 |
「It is N of NIPPON. 」 |
「Oh,I see.」 |
「Then, N rocket is introduced. 」 |
「Got it.」 |
「first of all,≪N−T≫ is introduced.」 |
「There any gonna be one ... 2 or 3?」 |
「No, there is it only to two.」 |
「 oh…,It is somewhat regrettable. 」 |
「It does not matter particularly.」 |
「The N rocket was made by an organization called NASDA」 |
「 Is the organization which developed N rocket not Tokyo University Process Technology R & D Laboratories?」 |
「 NASDA is an abbreviated designation of National Space Development Agency made in 1969 by Japanese Government. Now we call the organization JAXA .」 |
「Oh, then I know only the name.」 |
「FoFoFo」 |
「In 1970, development of an N-1 rocket started. 」 |
「I began development soon after NASDA was established.」 |
「Yes. The different point where Tokyo University Process Technology R & D Institute produced these rockets to here is decisive」 |
「Oh, is it anything?」 |
「It is fuel. 」 |
「 Fuel...? Oh! got it! This is the fuel of a liquid!!」 |
「That's right .」 |
「Oh,you are wise!」 |
「Even so.」 |
「The reason using the liquid fuel is because a research institute referred to an American rocket.」 |
「Though it is N rocket, it is strange.」 |
「The next is an N-U rocket. 」 |
(c)JAXA
「It became 2, and what changed?」 |
「 At first I was able to launch a heavy man-made satellite than before. I made it to launch a bigger man-made satellite.」 |
「I see.」 |
「And I became able to in this way blast off several geostationary satellite.」 |
「Geostationary?」 |
「Stillness,It means having stopped.」 |
「I see. But why do you let it stand still?」 |
「Because not need to move the antenna to receive radio waves. Then, I'm not actually stationary.」 |
「…? What do you mean?」 |
「Do you know that the earth rotates?」 |
「Yes.」 |
「
Though it is slightly complexed, it means, "a place does not move seeing from the earth"」 |
「Well, after all...」 |
「It is that the Earth rotates in the same way .」 |
「That's right.」 |
「I see.」 |
