For the Japanese singer Halca singer The HALCA Highly Advanced Laboratory for Communications and Astronomy , also known for its project name VSOP VLBI Space Observatory Programme , or the code name MUSES B for the second of the Mu rocket family Mu Space Engineering Spacecraft series, is a Japan ese 8 meter diameter radio telescope satellite which was used for Very Long Baseline Interferometry . It is in an orbit with an apogee altitude of 21,400  km and a perigee altitude of 560  km. The elliptical orbit allowed imaging of celestial radio sources by the satellite and ground based telescopes, with good u,v plane coverage and high resolution. The orbit has an inclination of 31 degrees, and a period of about 6.3 hours. It was launched in February 1997 from Kagoshima Space Center . After three years of designed life, attitude control failed in 2003, and the operation officially ended in November 2005. HALCA will be followed by ASTRO G VSOP 2 .

Originally developed by Japan s Institute of Space and Astronautical Science , Mu rockets were later operated by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency following its merger with ISAS. Early Japanese carrier rockets The first Mu rocket, the Mu 1 made a single, sub orbital , test flight, on 31 October 1966. Subsequently a series of rockets were produced, designated Mu 3 and Mu 4 . In 1969 a suborbital test launch of the Mu 3D was conducted. The first orbital launch attempt for the Mu family, using a Mu 4 Mu 4S , was conducted on 25 September 1970, however the fourth stage did not ignite, and the rocket failed to reach orbit. On 16 February 1971, Tansei 1 was launched by another Mu 4S rocket. Two further Mu 4S launches took place during 1971 and 1972. The Mu 4S was replaced by the Mu 3C, was launched four times between 1974 and 1979, with three successes and one failure, and the Mu 3H, which was launched three times in 1977 and 1978. The Mu 3S was used between 1980 and 1984, making four launches. The final member of the Mu 3 family was the Mu 3SII, which was launched eight times between 1985 and 1995. The Mu 3 was replaced in service by the M V . Image MuRockets.svg center frame The Mu family of rockets. M V main M V The M 5 rocket M V , or Mu 5, was introduced in 1997 and retired in 2006. Seven launches, six of which were successful, were conducted. Typically, the M V flew in a three stage configuration, however a four stage configuration, designated M V KM was used 3 times, with the HALCA MUSES B HALCA satellite in 1997, Nozomi probe Nozomi PLANET B spacecraft in 1998, and the Hayabusa MUSES C spacecraft in 2003.

Funding started from FY 2007 with a budget of 12 billion yen, around 100 million US dollars. Featuring a 9 m diameter dish antenna to observe in 8, 22 and 43  GHz bands, it will be used in a combination of ground radio telescopes to create Very Long Baseline Interferometry . It is expected to achieve ten times higher resolution and ten times higher sensitivity than its predecessor HALCA . It was planeed to be launched in 2012 but a technical difficulty of dish antenna as well as the budget constraint lead to put the development on hold for fiscal year 2010, ref cite web url http www.cao.go.jp sasshin oshirase pdf nov17 am shiryo 3 34.pdf title 3 34 language Japanese accessdate March 9, 2010 ref ref cite web url http www.mext.go.jp component b menu other icsFiles afieldfile 2010 01 19 1289012 012.pdf title 10 1 22 language Japanese accessdate March 9, 2010 ref and the launch is to be delayed no earlier than 2013.
