情報収集衛星：
北朝鮮の核開発やミサイル発射の動向を監視することが主目的だ。安全保障上の観点から、情報収集衛星の性能向上に努めるのは当然ではないか。
Inteligence-gathering satellite :
The puropse of putting the satellite in the orbit is mainly for surveillance of the North Korea's nuclear weapons development and the move of launching missiles from there.From the viewpoint of ensuring the security, it is natural to improve the quality of the satellite.
(The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency recently launched an intelligence-gathering satellite to enable it to monitor North Korea's nuclear weapons program and maintain a watch for any indication of further missile launches by the reclusive state. Japan has every justification in improving the capability of its intelligence-gathering satellites to bolster national security.)
日本にとって３基目となる情報収集衛星が、国産ロケットＨ２Ａの１０号機によって打ち上げられた。

高性能カメラで地上を撮影する光学衛星は２基となったが、夜間や曇天時は撮影できない。電波で監視するレーダ衛星は依然、１基で運用している。
This is the second optical satellite which is able to photo the earth's ground by the high-quality camera. But it is not able to take photos in the night or in a cloudy daytime.Radar satellite ,which observes the earth's ground by radio, is still only one in operation.
(Japan currently has two optical satellites-including the latest one-that are capable of photographing the Earth with high-resolution cameras.However,these satelites cannot photograph the Earth at night or when it is cloudy.In addition,Japan has only one radar satellite,which uses radio signals,to keep en eye on the world.)
