据《自然》周刊报道,日本国家宇宙开发事业团（NAS-DA）将在南太平洋的圣诞岛建立一个新的航天中心。 拟议实施的计划包括设计和发射一个无人驾驶实验航天器——HOPE-X号,以用于给空间实验站运送设备。 NASDA目前正在同圣诞岛政府就租用圣诞岛东南部20年的问题进行谈判,它计划在这里建造一个航天港来执行来自种子岛的总航天中心的一些发射任务,种子岛是日本南部海岸附近的一个岛屿。这将是日本在国外的第一个空间运营计划。种子岛航天中心将转向发射商业卫星,而让圣诞岛作为日本空间研究开发计划的核心。 但一些科学家担心日本的参与国际商用卫星发射——预定于2000年开始——将会影响NASDA的研究活动。 日本的商业卫星发射公司——火箭系统公司（RocketSystem）——现已同休斯空间与通信国际公司以及空间系统/罗拉公司签署了一项在2000年到2001年间从种子岛航天中心发射20颗卫星的合同。
According to the “Nature” magazine reported that Japan’s National Space Development Corporation (NAS-DA) will be Christmas Island in the South Pacific to establish a new space center. The proposed implementation plan includes the design and launch of an unmanned experimental spacecraft, HPE-X, for the delivery of equipment to the space experimental station. NASDA is currently negotiating with the Christmas Island government to lease a 20-year southeastern Christmas Island and plans to build a spaceport here to carry out some of its launch missions from the Trattoria Total Space Center, which is near the southern coast of Japan An island. This will be Japan’s first space operation plan abroad. Tanegashima Space Center will turn to launch commercial satellites, leaving Christmas Island as the core of Japan’s space research and development program. But some scientists are worried that Japan’s involvement in the launch of International Commercial Satellite - scheduled to start in 2000 - will affect NASDA’s research activities. Japan’s commercial satellite launch company, RocketSystem, has signed a contract with Hughes Space and Communications International and Space Systems / Rolls to launch 20 capsules from the Tanegashima Space Center from 2000 to 2001 Satellite contract.
