Party on Sep.11
Chairman Tachikawa
Prof. Sakamoto
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
On Sep.11, There was a special party held at the house of Akiko Nakagami , councilor of JAXA for
JAXA Chairman Keiji Tachikawa and JAXA-ISAS Professor Seiichi Sakamoto to explain and promote Japa's lunar orbiter
program on the occasion of the planned launch of Lunar Orbit Explorer "Kaguya," which is to take place this weekend (weather permitting). This is considered the largest luna mission since Apollo/Luna, and a reflection of Japan's high priority in lunar science programs. As a result, the event attracted a large audience, and many interesting questions, such as its possible application to
the development of ICBM, were raised after the formal presentation. It looks like the launch will most likely take place on Saturday, September 14.
