MHI supplies DIASYS Netmation for the Launch Control System
of the H-IIB launch vehicle to Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

Launch of H-IIB Launch Vehicle Test Flight (C)JAXA/MHI

JAXA determined to introduce DIASYS Netmation for the following reasons in 2007.
Long term maintenance service of DIASYS Netmation.
Redundant system structure can build easily for improvement of reliability.
Visualization of control logic is effective for operation.

The Launch Control System performs automatically power supply of loading apparatus, automatically loading control for the propellants and gases to the launch vehicle and terminal countdown sequence control, etc.

The launch of H-IIB launch vehicle test flight which carried the H-II transfer vehicle (HTV) succeeded at 2:01:46 on September 11, 2009 (Japan Standard Time) from Tanegashima space center.

JAXA evaluated that the introduction of DIASYS Netmation led to the operability, reliability, and maintainability improvement.

MHI plans to propose the application of DIASYS Netmation to the launcher control system of the H-IIA launch vehicle or the other control system in Tanegashima space center.

MHI continues the improvement of DIASYS Netmation quality to offer the customer a steady control system, and expands the application of DIASYS Netmation not only for the thermal power plant but a new field.
