Japan's satellite development plans · Narration
A phased satellite program
The passage opens with *日本の 人工衛星は*, "Japan's artificial satellite," and describes a series of planned launches.
The first scientific satellite is scheduled for fiscal 1967. A stronger launch vehicle will later place a practical satellite into orbit.
*打ち上げる事になっている* presents the first launch as a fixed schedule. The same construction presents later launches as fixed plans.
Budgets and weather rockets
Six ministries request more than 6.1 billion yen, and the passage expects full-scale space development to begin in fiscal 1966.
The final plan uses *気象用ロケット*, "weather rockets," to observe upper-atmosphere winds and temperatures.

The Science and Technology Agency will take over the technology of the Mu-4S launch vehicle to be used for it and improve it into a more powerful vehicle, and the Ministry of Education and the Science and Technology Agency have agreed on a plan to place Practical Satellite No. 1 into an orbit at an altitude of 1,000 kilometers in fiscal 1970.

Because the budgets in the fiscal 1966 space development plans submitted to the Ministry of Finance by the six ministries and agencies of Science and Technology, Education, International Trade and Industry, Transportation, Posts and Telecommunications, and Construction exceed 6.1 billion yen, it appears that full-scale space development centered on launching and using artificial satellites will begin in fiscal 1966.
