Nozomi (Shinkansen) - Nozomi (Shinkansen) Shinkansen 500 Series at Kyoto Station, April 2002 Nozomi is the fastest train service running on the Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen. The trains stop at slightly fewer stations than the Hikari trains. The Nozomi is not covered by the Japan Rail Pass. Along the stretch between Hiroshima and Hakata, the train can reach speeds of 300 km/h (186 mph). The 500 Series Shinkansen and 700 Series Shinkansen are used for Nozomi services. The word nozomi (望み) in Japanese means "hope" or "wish"..
Nozomi - Nozomi Nozomi (Japanese for "Hope" and known before launch as Planet-B) was planned as a Mars-orbiting aeronomy probe. It was constructed by the Institute of Space and Aeronautical Science, University of Tokyo and launched on July 3 1998 at 18:12:00 UTC with an on-orbit dry mass of 258 kg. Nozomi was designed to study the martian upper atmosphere and its interaction with the solar wind and to develop technologies for use in future planetary missions. Specifically, instruments on the spacecraft were to measure the structure, composition and dynamics of the ionosphere, aeronomy effects of the solar wind, the escape of atmospheric constituents, the intrinsic magnetic field, the penetration of the solar-wind magnetic field, the structure of the magnetosphere, and dust in the upper atmosphere and in.
Kodama (Shinkansen) - not ride the Kodama if you wanted to go between major cities such as Tokyo and Osaka; take the Nozomi or the Hikari instead. The trains following Kodama routes are historically the slower and older ones, including the original 0 Series trains. Today 300 Series and 700 Series trains also operate as Kodama. The word kodama (木霊 or 木魂) in Japanese means "echo"..

Hikari (Shinkansen) - services running on the Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen. It runs slower than the Nozomi but faster than the Kodama. Most Hikari services use 300 Series Shinkansen trains, although the new Hikari Rail Star service uses the 700 Series Shinkansen. The word hikari (光) in Japanese means "light"..
Exploration of Mars - surface. The two missions returned the first color pictures and extensive scientific information. Measured temperatures at the landing sites ranged from 150 to 250 K, with a variation over a given day of 35 to 50 K. Seasonal dust storms, pressure changes, and movement of atmospheric gases between the polar caps were observed. A biology experiment produced no evidence of life at either landing site. While searching for a suitable landing spot for Viking 2's lander, the Viking 1 orbiter photographed the landform that constitutes the so-called "Face on Mars" on July 25, 1976. Phobos program The Soviets went to Mars again in 1988 with the Phobos 1 and 2 probes to study the planet and its moons Phobos and Deimos. Phobos 1 lost contact on the way to Mars and.
300 Series Shinkansen - on the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen lines for use on the fastest Nozomi services, being capable of 270 km/h (168 mph). As more were delivered (66 trains by 1998) they replaced earlier units on Hikari service and allowed the thus displaced 100 Series units to finally in turn displace 0 Series units in almost all service. The styling of these units is something of a 'curved wedge' at the front, replacing the aircraft-style nosecones of previous Shinkansen trains. The furthest forward point is the very bottom of the pilot. They are painted brilliant white with a medium-thick blue stripe beneath the windows. They are only found in sixteen car sets and have no restaurant cars, though they do contain two refreshment counters. Technically, they are notable for being the first Shinkansen.
500 Series Shinkansen - an estimated ¥5 billion, or over US$40 million; because of that pricetag, only nine have been built. The first entered service in 1995 and the last of the nine in 1998. They are used only on the premium Nozomi services. Visually they are quite striking, with a long, pointed needle nose more like that of a supersonic plane than a conventional high speed train..
700 Series Shinkansen - Unlike the 500 series the 700 series is not a thing of beauty, with a fat, bulbous 'duck-bill' nose. They are painted white with a blue band beneath the windows, and are used on almost all levels of service on the Tokaido Shinkansen and Sanyo Shinkansen lines. 700 series trains are used for Nozomi, Hikari, and Kodama services on the Tokaido and Sanyo lines. When used for Hikari service, the trains are called Hikari Rail Star to differentiate them from the standard 300 series Hikari trains..

Tokaido Shinkansen - 1 of that year. The opening was timed to coincide with the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, which had already brought international attention to the country. The line carried its 100 millionth passenger in 1967, and its billionth in 1976. Trains There are three types of trains on the line: from fastest to slowest, they are the Nozomi, Hikari, and Kodama. Many continue onward to the Sanyo Shinkansen, going as far as Fukuoka's Hakata Station. Train sets on the line include: 300 Series Kodama/Hikari 500 Series Nozomi 700 Series Nozomi/Kodama/Hikari Rail Star Stations Tokyo (東京) Shinagawa (品川) Shin-Yokohama (新横浜) Odawara (小田原) Atami (熱海) Mishima (三島) Shin-Fuji (新富士) Shizuoka (静岡) Kakegawa (掛川) Hamamatsu (浜松) Toyohashi (豊橋) Mikawa-Anjo (三河安城) Nagoya (名古屋) Gifu-Hashima (岐阜羽島) Maibara (米原) Kyoto (京都) Shin-Osaka (新大阪).
