December 2005[edit]

I thought this is in fact M-V... See ISAS site. It might be better to move. - Marsian / talk 10:40, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, M-V does seem to be the correct name, used in all the sources I've looked at (including the "parent" Mu (rocket) article, and the Japanese/German versions of this article). I would support a name "move", unless someone can source a good reason to keep "M-5" the primary name. Earlier rockets in the series were called "Mu-1" and "Mu-3", perhaps explaining the confusion. -- Rwendland 11:42, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

~~Perhaps since the existing redirect M-V has page history, I couldn't move (swap) this page to M-V, so I requested move. - Marsian / talk 06:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)~~[reply]

Obvioustly, there's another possibility of M-V rocekt. Missing this point was totally my fault thus I withdrew my request. - Marsian / talk 10:59, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ICBM-Version[edit]

The Japanese don't need such a heavy long-range missile to hit their neighbor North Korea.--Arado 15:24, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

M-5 was terminated.[edit]

M-5 launcher has been terminated. I think "National Security" section is no longer appropriate. We should remove the section. It is a very strange section anyway. I guess Japan hater wrote it. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.139.200 (talk • contribs) 04:57, 24 September 2006

When you say terminated, do you mean that it has been retired, and will not be launched again. Do you have a cite for this? I was under the impression that it is still active, and infact, I have a cite that one is scheduled to launch in 2008, with the PLANET-C Venus orbiter. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 11:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is correct. If you can read Japanese, there are tons of news source for that. Otherwise PLANET-C is one. M-5 is infamous for its launching cost and incapablity for quick launching even though it is a solid fuel rocket. No way to make it a missile. They have a plan to develop a smaller rocket to reduce launching cost.

Requested move[edit]

M-5 rocket → M-V – Official name uses roman numerals[1] as opposed to numbers. Article should do the same. (Move is over redirect with history). GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 13:24, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved it. —Mets501 (talk) 17:22, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 18:53, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reference to MV (4) failure[edit]

in case it's useful. Matt Whyndham 11:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Main picture[edit]

Resolved

– Caption modified per discussion. (sdsds - talk) 21:45, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the main picture of this launch vehicle need to be of a failure? With most launches being successful, I found this to be inappropriate and demeaning to JAXA.ModernGeek (talk) 06:59, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the current image illustrates the rocket well. The image does not show anything abnormal or related to the failure, so it is still representative, and I see no reason to censor it for the protection of JAXA. If we limit information on that flight, it would be difficult to maintain a neutral point of view. So I would oppose any change of image, unless I feel the replacement is a better image than the current one. --G W… 10:47, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the image; remove the second sentence of the caption. (sdsds - talk) 03:54, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, Keep the image; remove the second sentence of the caption. Though there are other good images in the commons. Rwendland (talk) 13:34, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
