H-IIA F6 Accident Investigation Status
JAXA is continuing its accident investigation into the failure of the H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 6 (H-IIA F6). We carried out a search for the solid rocket booster (SRB-A) of the H-IIA F6 using the manned submarine "Shinkai 6500" between March 22 and 26 in cooperation with the Japan Marine Science and Technology Center (which became the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology in April 2004).Unfortunately, the booster parts of the SRB-A were not found after analysis of the acquired data during the search. As a result of further study of the depth and undersea features around the search area, the possibility of finding the booster nozzle parts was determined to be extremely slim. Therefore, JAXA decided to stop the search.
We plan to release the investigation results and information on our website.
