Subtopics

J-1 F2 Japanese all-solid orbital launch vehicle. Lower cost alternate to the original J-1 design. Uses the SRB-A of the H-2A vehicle as the first stage, the second and third stages of the J-1, with updated avionics.

Epsilon Japanese low-cost solid propellant launch vehicle. Uses the H2A's solid rocket booster SRB-A3 as its first stage. Second stage uses the M-34c solid motor, an improved version of the third stage of the old ISAS M-V rocket. Third stage is the KM-V2b, derived from the KM-V2 kick motor used as the insertion stage for the Hayabusa probe in 2003. Final stage is a new liquid propulsion Post-Boost System (PBS) with 8 x 50N thrusters.

H-2-0 Nissan solid rocket engine. Used as strap-on booster on H-2, first stage on J-1. First flight 1994. Solid propellant rocket stage. Shorter monolithic motor using filament-wound case technology from Thiokol. Version for J-1 has 1,000 kg less propellant and 1,200 kg less empty mass than later H-2 SRB. J-1 first stage.
