Japan Launches Radar Spy Satellite

Japan has its eye on you. The country successfully launched a spy satellite today as part of its network of intelligence-gathering satellites. Another launch is expected next year.
The new satellite will enable the Japanese military to keep watch on any given spot on the planet, during the night or day, regardless of weather conditions. JAXA, Japan's space agency, said that the launch was done from the remote southern island of Tanegashima and went off as planned, with the radar-equipped satellite functioning properly. JAXA launched another satellite in September of this year. /SatelliteSpotlight
