On January 27, 2013 at 04:40 UTC the Japanese H-2A rocket-carrier was launched from the Tanegashima Space Center, Japan's primary launch site situated on an island in the Pacific Ocean. The rocket orbited two spy satellites JSE Reda-4 (IGS Radar No. 4) and Jissho eisei (Demo Satellite) to collect sharp imagery for the government's defense and intelligence agencies.
