What's the japanese word for "take off" which in romaji sounds similar to "hashin"?


In many japanese sci fi series (Yamato, Macross, etc.) when a spaceship is
going to take off they say something similar in romaji to "hashin!" . When I
look for how to say **_take off_** in japanese I find words like 飛び立つ
(Tobitatsu ), 踏み切る (Fumikiru ) , but nothing similar to "hashin". How does
exactly this word sounds (romaji/hiragana) and how do you write it with
kanjis? You can listen it here:

It's **発進｛はっしん｝** that means indeed "take off / launch / departure".

To break it down, you can see how this word is composed by the kanji 発 (that
means departure) which you can indeed find in many related words, and the
kanji 進 that means to advance, progress.
