For many years, Japan had two space agencies, and a large space technology laboratory (the NAL, the National Aerospace Laboratory). The other space agency--which was directed toward developing applications (weather, communications, etc.) satellites, manned space flight vehicles such as their ISS module and ISS resupply freighter spacecraft, and launch vehicles for them--was NASDA, the National Space Development Agency. ISAS, at the University of Tokyo, was Japan's scientific space agency, which developed and flew its own sounding rockets and their payloads, sounding rocket-derived satellite launch vehicles (the Lambda and Mu series; Lambda began as a large sounding rocket), and scientific satellites. They also flew Project Skyhook-type, instrumented polyethylene plastic film stratospheric balloons. Now: In 2003, all three--ISAS, NASDA, and NAL--were merged to become JAXA, the Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency (see: https://global.jaxa.jp/ ). But ISAS appears to still exist--at least unofficially--perhaps as an organization, or a division, within JAXA. Whenever I look up information on Japanese sounding rockets, sounding balloons, and scientific satellites, almost invariably the website or webpage URL begins with the term "isas" (it would be like looking up NASA aeronautical project websites, and seeing the URLs beginning with "naca" [for the pre-NASA--1915 to 1958--National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics] instead of "nasa").

Yugoslavia bought Kappa 6 rockets (launched in 1964). Indonesia bought the more powerful Kappa 8 rockets (launched in 1965). It’s possible there were more launches afterwards. |
