Scientific paper

The development history and flight performance of the M-3SII launch vehicles for the Japanese PLANET-A spacecraft are discussed. The M-3SII is a three-staged solid rocket with two strap-on boosters and an optional fourth kick stage. The 28 meter-long vehicle can lift about 700 kg of payload into LEO with a lift-off weight of 62 tons. The telemetry, tracking, and command system of the M-3SII consists of radar beacon tracking electronics; command destruct electronics for separation of the stages; and a vehicle diagnostic telemetry system. The nominal sequence of events of a typical M-3SII launch is given in a table.
