This review examines the development of launch vehicles and related technologies in Japan with attention given to applications of the programs. Descriptions are given of current vehicles, their applications, and specific design considerations including those for the M-3SII and the H-I. Vehicles under development include the two-stage H-II for sending two-ton payloads into GEO. Also described are: (1) the TR-IA for 750 kg of payloads for microgravity experiments; (2) the J-I three-stage all-solid vehicle; and (3) the M-V three stage all-solid vehicle for larger payloads. The H-II is shown to be a prime candidate for use as a workhorse in the deployment of satellites for communications and remote sensing, and the H-II is intended for use in development of space stations. The M-V is expected to provide the means for deploying precursor lunar/planetary exploration spacecraft.
