III. National Space Program History 1996

Establishment of the「Basic Mid-to-Long Term National Space Development Plan」 by the Science Evaluation Committee

1998

1st revision of the plan (Ministerial meeting, Ministry of Science and Technology) - Change launch date of first independent satellite launch from 2010 to 2005

2000

2nd revision of the plan (National Science and Technology Committee) - Expand Space Center and increase number of satellite programs from 19 to 20

2005

3rd revision of the plan (National Science and Technology Committee) - Develop specific plans up to 2010, change number of satellite programs to 13 and delay launch vehicle development and Space Center construction to 2007

2007

Establishment of the「Basic Space Development Promotion Plan」 and the 「Detail Space Development Program Roadmap」 - Long term plan contents extending to 2016 established in accordance with the Space Development Promotion Act (2005)
