VEP-2 is a cone-shaped set of Al disks on top of the H2A second stage, modelling the mass of Artemis (which was pulled from the flight at a late stage). The DRE is mounted on it. Doppler Ranging experiment is box about 0.5 x 0.4m. VEP is about 3.0m dia 0.8 high. Mass is 3100 kg.
The H-IIA stage 2 carried out a chill down experiment an hour after launch to prove capabilities for 3-burn missions.
