Safety officials have established road blocks 400 meters from Launch Pad No. 1 of the Yoshinobu launch complex. The Yoshinobu launch complex was built for the H-2 rocket program that began operations in 1994 and has since been modified for use by the more powerful and H-2A rocket family.

The pads are positioned on a rocky outcrop on the southeastern flank of Tanegashima Island, which lies about 80 miles south of Kagoshima, Japan.

The complex features two pads for the H-2A and H-2B rockets. Launch Pad No. 2 has been used for six flights of the H-2B rocket with the H-2 Transfer Vehicle, an unmanned cargo ship for the International Space Station. In all, 47 rockets have departed Earth from the Yoshinobu complex since 1994. The most recent flight was an H-2A rocket launch in June 2017.

Slew checks of the H-2A rocket's first stage engine have been completed, verifying the powerplant will be able to steer the launcher during ascent.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the H-2A rocket's contractor and commercial operator, reports the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen tanks aboard the launcher are now full of super-cold cryogenic propellant.

Another "go/no go" decision point is coming up soon, before the countdown enters the terminal phase at T-minus 60 minutes.

NVS取材班、竹崎のプレスセンターに入りました。現地は遠方に雲はありますが上空は晴れ。ただし水蒸気のモヤでロケットは白く霞んでみえます。#nvslive

NVS interview team entered the press center, Takezaki. The clouds are located far away but the sky is sunny. However, the rocket is white and misty in moisture of water vapor.

Что предпочтительнее - Подождать десяток-другой минут? Использовать всё допустимое окно пуска? Или вернуть РН в VAB?  Полной определенности нет, что выберут в итоге - пока не ясно...

数10分程度の延期ですむのか･ウィンドウ一杯使うのか･はたまた機体をVABに戻さなければいけないのか、現時点は不明。 何とか上がってほしいが。 #H2AF35 #QZS3
