But most of them do not know, how much of exhaustive work stays behind it.Years of bothering and improving technologies constitute today also an success of Japan's space agency , who have launched experimental communication satellite into Space on Saturday. The aim of this satellite, known as "Kizuna", is to provide super high-speed Internet access across Asia, but mainly in Japan and in Southeast Asia.The Kizuna was carried by the Japan-developed rocket H-2A, that was launched from the Space Centre on Tanegashima island off the southern tip of Kyushu Island.The development of this satellite cost Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency-JAXA- approximately $340 million. It includes two large multi-beam antennas, which are separated from the rocket. Kizuna is expected to facilitate super-high speed data communications of up to 1.2 Gbps. According to the JAXA, this parameter makes it the fastest in the world. The agency also assume it to have a life cycle of five years and it is hoped to begin transmitting and receiving data in July, after passing on-orbit tests.Kizuna is not intended for commercial use.
