The launch on 24 Jan. 1990 of the space engineering satellite 'Hiten' is addressed. The Hiten primary mission goals are to verify technologies and techniques required for lunar and planetary missions in the near future. These include orbit control of Hiten utilizing multiple gravity assist lunar swingbys of the Moon, insertion of an orbiter into lunar orbit and aerobraking technology demonstrations in the Earth's atmosphere. A sophisticated mission design and its flexible operational schemes developed to accomplish these complicated missions are summarized. They are reported to have worked well through the Hiten's successful nine lunar swingby orbiting the lunar orbiter Hagoromo around the moon and the Hiten's two aerobrake demonstrations.
