Yesterday, a Chinese news article confirmed the lift-off time upon which I based my search elements. It also reported that forecast high wind threatens to delay launch: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2003-11/27/content_1202233.htm "The rocket for sending the second pair to orbit is to lift off at 1:33 p.m. (0433 GMT) from the Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture, according to JAXA, formed in October through a merger involving the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) and two other space entities. The agency will check weather conditions before giving the final go-ahead, JAXA said, since strong winds of up to 32 kilometers per hour are forecast and gusts of up to 54 kph are likely. Winds with maximum speeds of over 53 kph could push the rocket into the gantry and damage it."
