Translation

Just after 4 a.m. on August 11, a rocket will lift off from Tanegashima.

It carries an artificial satellite called "Michibiki No. 7".

"Michibiki" is a satellite that tells you the place where you are.

It is used for car navigation, maps, and even farming machines.

The launch was first planned for August 7, but a typhoon pushed it back twice.

The more satellites there are, the more accurately your location is known.

Why six school grades, and not N5–N1?

Because that is how Japanese children learn to read. Japan's Ministry of Education fixes exactly which character belongs to which grade — so "grade 3" is a boundary you can verify, not a feeling. Every article here is machine-checked: if a single character sits above its grade, it is not published.

The result: you never hit a character you have not learned. That is the whole reason this product exists.
