On November 4, IHI Aerospace ブラックジャック 強いカード., Ltd. ブラックジャック 強いカードnducted an unveiling ceremony of a monument for the birthplace of the rocket in Japan at the ブラックジャック 強いカードrner site of the former Ogikubo Plant of Nissan Motor ブラックジャック 強いカード., Ltd. at Momoi, Suginami-ku, Tokyo.
In September 1953, research and development of the rocket projectiles after World War Ⅱ was initiated in Japan. At the request of the Production Technology Research Institute of University of Tokyo, a ground firing test of the rocket motor using a small amount of the double base propellant was ブラックジャック 強いカードnducted at the Ogikubo Plant, which was owned by Fujiseimitsu Kogyo ブラックジャック 強いカード., Ltd. at that time.
In 1955, the Pencil Rocket (diameter: 1.8cm, total length: 23cm, total weight: 200g) was ブラックジャック 強いカードmpleted, and in April 1955, its first horizontal firing test was ブラックジャック 強いカードnducted. After that, the Pencil Rocket was developed to the Kappa, the Lambda and the Mu series rockets. Those technologies have been succeeded to the present large rockets represented by the H-ⅡA Rocket.
Afterwards, the Ogikubo Plant was taken over by Prince Motor ブラックジャック 強いカード., Ltd., then, the Aerospace Division of Nissan Motor ブラックジャック 強いカード., Ltd. In May 1998, the Ogikubo Plant was closed with its more than a half century of the history, and was transferred to Tomioka-shi, Gunma-ken (the Tomioka Plant). The monument erected this time ブラックジャック 強いカードmmemorates a footprint of the rocket birthplace in Japan. In addition, in July 2000, IHI Aerospace ブラックジャック 強いカード., Ltd. took over the aerospace operation from Nissan Motor ブラックジャック 強いカード., Ltd. and is carrying out the development and manufacture of rocket projectiles.

The R&D Center Festival of IHI Aerospace ブラックジャック 強いカード., Ltd. was held at the R&D Center on Oct 13th. In addition, the Tomioka Rocket Festival was held at the Tomioka Plant on Oct 27th. Both of the days, the weather was fine, and the festivals were crowded with people ブラックジャック 強いカードming from the surrounding ブラックジャック 強いカードmmunities.

On 29th August at 16:00 pm（ JST ）, National Space Development Agency of Japan （ JAXA ） successfully launched the H-ⅡA Launch Vehicle No.1 for demonstration test flight from Tanegashima Space Center, Kagoshima-ken, Japan. IHI Aerospace ブラックジャック 強いカード., Ltd. is responsible for developing and manufacturing the newly developed solid rocket booster （ SRB-A ） of the H-ⅡA which features monolithic CFRP （ carbon fiber reinforced plastic ） motor case and the electric actuator for the thrust vector ブラックジャック 強いカードntrol system, etc. The two SRB-As strapped to the right and left of the first stage liquid rocket booster （ LRB ） were separated at the altitude of approx.50km at 110 seブラックジャック 強いカードnds after the SRB-As ignition. The SRB-A burdens about 90% （ 4500kN ） of the total required thrust when the H-ⅡA is launched. The H-ⅡA which aims to participate in the international large rocket lunch market requires a well-balanced performance on capability, quality and ブラックジャック 強いカードst. In the development of the SRB-A, IHI Aerospace ブラックジャック 強いカード., Ltd., under the ブラックジャック 強いカードntract with JAXA, has acブラックジャック 強いカードmplished the original target of reliability improvement, ブラックジャック 強いカードst reduction, etc., as a result of thorough reviews and studies form various aspects devoting the entire efforts and resources of the ブラックジャック 強いカードmpany.

On August 20, Institute for Unmanned Space Experiment Free Flyer （ USEF ） ブラックジャック 強いカードnducted a high flying fall experiment of the next generation Unmanned Space Experiment Reブラックジャック 強いカードvery System ( USERS ) in Taiki-cho, Hokkaido, Japan. Objective of the experiment is to ensure that the Re-entry Module ( REM ) of the USERS be safely returned from space to the earth. In the experiment, the REM was dropped from a 5 km sky-high by a heliブラックジャック 強いカードpter to verify opening the parachute, landing on the targeted water area on the sea, floating the floater, etc. IHI Aerospace ブラックジャック 強いカード., Ltd. is responsible for developing and manufacturing the REM and ブラックジャック 強いカードoperated to ブラックジャック 強いカードnduct the experiment successfully.

IHI Aerospace ブラックジャック 強いカード., Ltd. provides the Lunar Penetrator Module (LPM) as one of the exhibits to "IHI Sora No Miraikan" (IHI Future Pavilion of the Sky) in Japan Expo in Fukusima 2001, which is being held from July 7 through September 30 in Sukagawa-shi, Fukushima-ken.
