Japan’s space agency on Tuesday destroyed its H3 rocket shortly after launch. The agency took the step after the first rocket in Japan’s new rocket series in more than two decades failed to ignite in its second stage. Three weeks ago, the launch of the H3 rocket had to be canceled due to another flaw. The failure of this rocket is considered a major blow to Japan’s space program and possibly its missile detection system.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency said the H3 rocket lifted off from the Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan on Tuesday morning. The agency said the rocket was on track and its second stage also separated as planned, but the mission was not successful as it failed to ignite. Agency officials regretted the failure of the rocket system. He reported that the failure of the ignition had rendered the mission unlikely to complete, so he sent a destruct command 14 minutes after launch, destroying it.
