	Nozomi
		Known before launch as Planet-B, Nozomi ("Hope") was launched on Jul. 4, 1998, on the second flight of the M-V rocket from Kagoshima Space Center.
		Nozomi's primary scientific objective was to study the Martian upper atmosphere with emphasis on its interaction with the solar wind.
		After launch, Nozomi was placed in an elliptical parking orbit around the Earth with a perigee of 340 km and an apogee of 400,000 km.

		Nozomi (Japanese for Hope and known before launch as Planet-B) is a Mars orbiting aeronomy mission designed to study the martian upper atmosphere and its interaction with the solar wind and to develop technologies for use in future planetary missions.
		Nozomi will be inserted into a highly eccentric Mars orbit with a periapsis 300 km above the surface, an apoapsis of 15 Mars radii, and an inclination of 170 degrees with respect to the ecliptic plane.

	SPACE.com -- Hope Lost, Japan Abandons Mars Probe
		Nozomi -- which means "Hope'' -- was to have circled Mars at an average altitude of about 550 miles to determine whether the planet has a magnetic field.
		But malfunctions during Nozomi's journey altered its trajectory, putting the dragonfly-shaped, 1,190-pound probe into a course that was too low and raising concerns it might crash into -- and possibly contaminate -- the planet's surface.
		Nozomi is part of an international fleet of Mars probes.

	Nozomi, Planet B (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Japan's Nozomi (for Hope; former Planet B) Mars orbiter was successfully launched on July 4, 1998 with a M-V-3 rocket, and flew two Lunar swingbys on September 24 and on December 18, 1998, and one Earth swingby on December 20, 1998.
		Unfortunately, the electric system of Nozomi as well as the S band antenna suffered damage from a heavy Solar eruption in April, 2002, limiting the communication possibilities with the spacecraft.
		Nozomi was lifted into a safe flyby orbit to avoid a crash of the unsterilzed spacecraft on the Martian surface, and passed the Martian surface at a height of 860 km on December 14, 2003.

		Nozomi -- which means 'hope' in Japanese -- made its final flyby of the Earth in mid-June and is expected to arrive at Mars on 14 December.
		Nozomi -- which launched from a pad in Kagoshima, southwestern Japan on 4 July 1998 -- was originally slated to arrive at Mars and enter into orbit in October 1999 to gather data on the upper atmosphere and topography of the Red Planet.
		The mission, however, has been plagued with problems since its launch, not the least of which was the loss of one of its power systems as a result of a major solar flare in April 2002.

		The truth is that “NOZOMI” will, if going as it is, approach Mars on December 14 by 894km passing above Martian surface at its closest approach, but there would not be excluded a theoretical possibility of colliding with Mars by more or less one percent, if we take the error of orbit determination into account.
		As you may know, however, “NOZOMI” right now is under “the last challenge” to repair its malfunction of which must be concentrated by all task force of scientists and engineers of “NOZOMI” mission team until its outcome is clearly known.
		As many of you may know, onboard “NOZOMI” is mounted an aluminum plate etched with the names of 270,000 people who applied for the pre-launch campaign, “Send your names to Mars!”; The names of 270,000 people will keep on circling around the sun for hundreds of million years.

		In 1999, the oldest Shinkansen trains were retired and a new Nozomi 700 series train was introduced.
		Since both the 500 and 700 series trains are now used for the Nozomi (super super express) trains, it can be tricky to spot the relatively rare 500 Series trains.
		I know that the first Nozomi out of Tokyo Station is typically a 500 Series and indeed does the Yokohama-Kyoto run 2 minutes faster than any other train.
