The Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), the center of the research for space and astronautical science in Japan, has developed a series of satellite launchers called Mu series for its own missions. Since the first launch in 1971, five engineering test satellites and thirteen scientific ones, including two interplanetary ones, have been successfully launched from Kagoshima Space Center (KSC). The launch site of ISAS, KSC, is located in the southern part of Japan and, when the azimuth of the launch vehicle is set to 90 degrees measured from north, the deviation of the flight path of about 15 degrees may cause a hazardous situation, since there are very crowded areas under such a path in Japan. And, when the flight safety manager judges the necessity of the flight safety operation, the destruction command will be transmitted to the vehicle to stop its further flight. The principle of the flight safety and guidance procedure and system applied for Mu launch vehicle is presented.
