In the morning of September 14, 2007,
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, LTD. (MHI) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) successfully launched the H-ⅡA Launch Vehicle No.13 (H-ⅡA F13) from the Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima prefecture,
Japan. The H-ⅡA F13 inserted the Lunar explorer "KAGUYA" into planned orbit.
We, at IHI Aerospace Co., Ltd. were responsible for the development and manufacture of the solid rocket boosters (SRB-As),
the pyrotechnics for the separation of rocket stages, and the 2nd stage reaction control gas jets, and we also supported the launch at Tanegashima Space Center as well.
Furthermore we also developed and manufactured the satellite propulsion system this time, and it is hoped that this system will contribute towards the successful accomplishment of the mission.

The world's largest air show, the Paris Air Show was held at Le Bourget Airport in the suburbs of Paris from June 18 to 24.
IHI Aerospace Co., LTD. exhibited a full- scale model of the 450N apogee engine for satellites,
which is exported to several foreign countries, and also displayed poster-session panels of thrusters,which likewise have been in demand overseas.

In the afternoon on February 24, 2007,
the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) successfully launched the H-ⅡA Launch Vehicle No.12 (H-ⅡA F12) from the Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima prefecture, Japan.
The H-ⅡA F12 inserted two information gathering satellites into orbit.
IHI Aerospace Co., Ltd. was responsible for the development and manufacture of the solid rocket boosters (SRB-As), the pyrotechnics for the separation of rocket stages, and the 2nd stage reaction control gas jets.
We also supported the launch at Tanegashima Space Center.

On January 16 at 11:20 am, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched the 37th S-310 rocket (with an overall length of approximately 8m and a total weight of approximately 0.8t) from the Uchinoura Space Center in Kagoshima prefecture, Japan.
The objective of the launch was to elucidate the mechanism of the generation of the high electron temperature sphere in the lower part of the ionosphere. Using onboard equipment, it was confirmed that the high-temperature sphere exists at an altitude of 99 to 101 km. In this experiment the rocket separated the payload fairing after 59 seconds of launching, and after 184 seconds of launching, the rocket reached an altitude of 138 km after which it splashed down in the ocean southeast of Uchinoura.
IHI Aerospace Co., Ltd. is responsible for developing and manufacturing the S-310 rocket.
