	Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		JAXA was formed on October 1, 2003 through the merger of three previously independent organizations.
		JAXA is responsible for research, development and launch of satellites into orbit, and is involved in many missions such as asteroid exploration and a possible manned mission to the moon.
		As JAXA shifted away from international efforts beginning in 2005, plans are developing for independent space missions, such as a proposed manned mission to the moon.

	Space Today Online - Spacefaring Japan - Hayabusa Muses-C exploring an asteroid
		JAXA planned two quick landings on the asteroid for Falcon to grab samples of fine dust.
		One was to have been on a middle area of the asteroid that JAXA had named MUSES-Sea and the other from a broad, flat surface area at the tip of the asteroid that JAXA called Woomera Desert.
		JAXA reported Falcon had closed to within about 2,000 feet of the huge space rock when the landing operation was called off.

		The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) would like to announce that the launch of the H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 11 (H-IIA F11) with the Engineering Test Satellite VIII "Kiku No. 8" (ETS-VIII) onboard was approved by the Space Activities Commission (SAC) as follows.
		JAXA (NASDA at that time) successfully launched the H-IIA F1 in Aug. 2001, and full-scale operations for launching practical satellites started with the H-IIA F3.
		JAXA performed numerous experiments and tests to modify the troubled parts, including the shape of the injector.

		But the probe appears to be stabilizing, and JAXA plans to re-ignite its engines by Dec. 10 for the return journey, JAXA executive Yasunori Matogawa said.
		JAXA said the Hayabusa appeared to have touched down for a few seconds on the asteroid about 180 million miles from Earth, collecting powder from its surface and then lifting off again to transmit data to mission controllers.
		JAXA lost contact with the probe during that attempt and did not even realize it had landed until days later — long after it had lifted off.

		Many recently born stars that were previously unknown are now expected to be detected thanks to this new image, while detailed analysis of these data will reveal the story of the star formation in this area.
		TRMM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japanese space agency, JAXA.
		The distribution of the dust heated by young hot stars is exhibited in the images at 15 and 24 micron, showing that the star forming regions sit along the spiral arms of the galaxy.

		Japan aerospace exploration agency (JAXA) was established by integrating three aerospace-related organisations in 2003.
		It is responsible for not only development of large-size launch vehicles, satellites, and next-generation aviation, but also research on space and planetary science.
		In this talk JAXA's past projects and its long-term vision are briefly mentioned, and two ongoing research projects in JAXA/IAT are introduced.

		In a pair of recent, independent tests, Japanese and American teams have successfully tested systems that could be used to deploy giant solar sails.
		On Monday the Japanese space agency JAXA launched a sounding rocket carrying a solar sail demonstration payload.
		JAXA billed the flight as the first successful in-space test of a "large" sail, although Russia tested similar technologies in space in the 1990s using Progress spacecraft on missions to the Mir space station.

	SPACE.com -- Hope Lost, Japan Abandons Mars Probe
		The probe, Japan's first interplanetary explorer, had been traveling for five years toward Mars and would have reached the planet next week.
		But officials at JAXA, Japan's space agency, said Nozomi was off target and that scientists gave up trying to salvage the mission after an attempt to fire the probe's engines failed because it was short on fuel.
		"Our mission to explore Mars is over,'' JAXA spokesman Junichi Moriuma told The Associated Press.
