The Takesaki Range, no longer in use, was a site from which small-sized rockets (LS-C, JCR, TT-500A, TR-I, etc.) were launched for technological development. The range facilities include the Takesaki Block House and small-size rocket launcher.
From 1991, this range was used to launch a series of small-size rockets (TR-IA “Takesaki”, which was an improved TR-I) for space experiments. The mission of the TR-IA experimental project concluded with the TR-IA No. 7 as the purpose of the current technological developments had been achieved, such as the improvement of space experiment technology for early utilization of a space station, common experiments, and development of enabling technology for equipment.
