A joint venture between NASDA and NAL (both now part of JAXA), started in the 1980s as part of the Japanese contribution to the International Space Station, was cancelled in 2003. Originally designed to be orbitted by the H-II (H2) launcher, it was subsequently projected for the H-II A (H2A) launcher.
