Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency have this morning Launched a new high speed internet/communication satellite KIZUNA (WINDS). KIZUNA/H-IIA F14 was launched at 17:55 on Feb 23rd, 2008 JST 08:55 GMT. It is expected that this information and telecommunications network's speed and capacity will be much higher than anything achieved previously. KIZUNA satellite communication system aims for a maximum speed of 155Mbps (receiving) / 6Mbps (transmitting) for households with 45-centimetre aperture antennas (the same size as existing Communications Satellite antennas), and ultra-high speed 1.2 Gbps communication for offices with five-meter antennas.
