Japan launches another intelligence-gathering satellite

The Japanese government is expected to use the new IGS Radar 6 satellite, which was launched by JAXA and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI)

IGS Radar 6, which is a synthetic-aperture, radar-imaging satellite capable of resolving objects on the ground day and night regardless of weather conditions, is expected to become operational in the near future along with the IGS Optical 6 reconnaissance satellite the country launched in February.
