Established in February 1962, the Kagoshima Space Center (KSC) was constructed on the Pacific coast of Kagoshima Prefecture at Uchinoura for the purpose of launching large rockets with probe payloads.
Prior to establishment of KSC, test launches of the "Pencil Rocket", "Baby Rocket" and "Kappa Rocket" had been performed at the pioneering Akita rocket test facility (Michigawa) from the mid-1950s to the 1960s.
At 31º14' north latitude and 130º04' 45" east longitude, and situated in hilly terrain, the site at first glance does not appear to be exceptional; however, landscape engineering resulted in a launch facility which maximizes the unique terrain features of the site.
