Trouble detected in satellite Daichi found to be no problem
January 28, 2006Some trouble had been detected in a land-observation satellite Friday after it was deployed from a domestically made H-2A rocket earlier this week, Japan's space agency said Saturday, later identifying it as caused by a computer glitch that posed no problem to the satellite's operation. The trouble was detected in the data processing system of the Advanced Land Observing Satellite, nicknamed ''Daichi,'' at 10:51 p.m. Friday during an operation check upon completion of the process to change its position control, according to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
