Launched
August 12, 1986
Summary
Ajisai launched on a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries H-I from Osaki Launch Complex, Tanegashima Space Center, Japan on August 12, 1986. It was Mitsubishi Heavy Industries's 1st launch, 1st this year and humanity's 3,095th orbital launch attempt. It was the 1st H-I flight. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). The tracked orbit of Ajisai, one of 3 catalogued objects, from August 15, 1986, was 1,487 × 1,504 km inclined 50.0°. 3 objects from this launch are catalogued, all of them payloads.
