Everything about Japanese space program
Space program of Japan
The Japanese space program has cumulatively launched 384 spacecraft since 1970, the fifth most of any nation. It is currently operated by JAXA, formed from a 2003 merger of the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA), and National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan. In recent years, Japanese space policy has been shaped by the US-Japan alliance and intensifying great power competition. Wikipedia →
