The H-2 rocket, Japan's new expandable launch vehicle, is under development by NASDA (National Space Development Agency of Japan) and is to be operational in 1993. The fundamental policies of flight safety practiced by NASDA and newly developed flight safety systems for the H-2 rocket are described. Due to limited land space in Japan, the flight safety immediately following the liftoff is a very important consideration. Launch site, RCC (Range Control Center) and other facilities are being built in new locations. In addition, construction of the flight safety systems for the H-2 rocket is taking place. Computers and displays are being renewed for flight safety observation systems. Communication systems are also being reconstructed using optical local area network system.
