Japan is set to launch its first lunar orbiter in August, but exploring the moon is just part of the mission. The Japanese ambition is much higher. The goal is to first overtake China in the space and then complete with US and russia in Space dominnace. According to media reports, Japan's space agency JAXA announced last week that the much-delayed SELENE probe will be launched in August aboard an H-2A rocket, the mainstay of Japan's space program. JAXA says the SELENE project is the largest lunar mission since the U.S. Apollo program. It involves placing a main satellite in orbit at an altitude of about 60 miles and deploying two smaller satellites in polar orbits. Researchers will use data gathered by the probes to study the moon's origin and evolution.
