The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) would like to announce that the launch date of the H-IIA Launch Vehicle Flight No. 8, with the Advanced Land Observing Satellite Daichi (ALOS) onboard, has been set for today (January 23, 2006).

The launch had been postponed on January 17 due to a malfunction in one of the telemetry transmitters. JAXA investigated the malfunction, replaced the problematic transmitter, and verified the new transmitter worked properly.

The scheduled launch time is between 10:33 thru 10:43 a.m. (JST) on January 23, 2006.
