'''H-IIA''' ('''H-2A''') is an active [[expendable launch system]] operated by [[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries]] (MHI) for the [[JAXA|Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency]]. These liquid fuel [[rocket]]s have been used to launch [[satellite]]s into [[geostationary orbit]]; lunar orbiting spacecraft; ''[[Akatsuki (spacecraft)|Akatsuki]]'', which studied the planet Venus; and the [[Emirates Mars Mission]], which was launched to Mars in July 2020. Launches occur at the [[Tanegashima Space Center]]. The H-IIA first flew in 2001. {{As of|2024|9}}, H-IIA rockets were launched 49 times,<!-- UPDATE after each flight --> including 43 consecutive missions<!-- UPDATE after each flight --> without a failure, dating back to 29 November 2003.

Production and management of the H-IIA shifted from JAXA to MHI on 1 April 2007. Flight 13, which launched the lunar orbiter [[SELENE]], was the first H-IIA launched after this privatization.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.satnews.com/stories2007/4356/|title=Mitsubishi and Arianespace Combine Commercial Satellite Launch Services|publisher=SatNews|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120208014829/http://www.satnews.com/stories2007/4356/|archive-date=February 8, 2012}}</ref>

The H-IIA is a derivative of the earlier [[H-II]] rocket, substantially redesigned to improve reliability and minimize costs. There have been four variants, with two in active service (as of 2020) for various purposes. A derivative design, the [[H-IIB]], was developed in the 2000s and made its [[maiden flight]] in 2009 before finally retired on its final launch in 2020.

== Vehicle description ==
The base configuration, and the only remaining active configuration of an H-IIA launch vehicle, uses two [[SRB-A]] type [[solid rocket booster]]s (SRBs). The launch capability of the H-IIA launch vehicle could be enhanced by adding an additional two SRB-A boosters or up to four [[Castor (rocket stage)|Castor 4AXL]] solid strap-on boosters (SSBs). 

The models are indicated by three or four numbers following the prefix "H2A":<ref name="leaflet">{{cite web|url=http://www.jaxa.jp/pr/brochure/pdf/01/rocket01.pdf|title=H-IIA Launch Vehicle |access-date=2007-09-15|publisher=JAXA|page=2|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080228013323/http://www.jaxa.jp/pr/brochure/pdf/01/rocket01.pdf|archive-date=2008-02-28}}</ref>
* The first number in the sequence indicates the number of stages (always 2)
* The second number in the sequence indicates the number of [[liquid rocket booster]]s (a planned addition to the launch vehicle that was canceled, so always 0)
* The third number in the sequence indicates the number of [[SRB-A]] type solid rocket boosters (2 or 4)
* The fourth, optional, number in the sequence indicates the number of [[Castor (rocket stage)|Castor 4AXL]] solid strap-on boosters (2 or 4)

== Launch history ==
{{main|List of H-II and H3 launches}}

The first H-IIA was successfully launched on 29 August 2001, followed by a string of successes.

The sixth launch on 29 November 2003, intended to launch two [[Information Gathering Satellite|IGS]] [[reconnaissance satellite]]s, failed. JAXA announced that launches would resume in 2005, and the first successful flight took place on 26 February 2005 with the launch of [[Multi-Functional Transport Satellite|MTSAT-1R]].

The first launch for a mission beyond Earth orbit was on 14 September 2007 for the [[SELENE]] Moon mission. The first foreign payload on the H-IIA was the Australian FedSat-1 in 2002. As of March 2015, 27 out of 28 launches were successful.

A rocket with increased launch capabilities, [[H-IIB]], is a derivative of the H-IIA family. H-IIB uses two LE-7A engines in its first stage, as opposed to one in H-IIA. The first H-IIB was successfully launched on 10 September 2009.

For the 29th flight on 24 November 2015, an H-IIA with an upgraded second stage<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://global.jaxa.jp/press/2015/11/20151124_h2af29.html|title=Launch Result of Telstar 12 VANTAGE by H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 29|publisher=JAXA|date=24 November 2015|access-date=30 November 2015}}</ref> launched the [[Telstar 12V]] satellite, the first commercial primary payload for a Japanese launch vehicle.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2015/11/japanese-h-iia-telstar-12v-launch/|title=Japanese H-IIA successfully lofts Telstar 12V|publisher=NASASpaceflight|author=William Graham|date=23 November 2015 |access-date=30 November 2015}}</ref>
