Epsilon S

Company: IHI Aerospace

The Epsilon, developed by IHI AEROSPACE as a Japanese national project, inherits the proven Japanese rocket technology heritage of “H-IIA” and “M-V” and realizes lower cost and higher reliability. In addition, the historic solid rocket is easier to handle than the liquid fuel rocket, so it has the advantage of keeping prices down. The Epsilon S used for launch service realizes the synergistic effects between the development results of the previous Epsilon series and the H3 launch vehicle, which is the next-generation large rocket, to achieve high reliability, high satellite operability, and low launch price.
