Satellite launch failed - Japanese rocket explodes. Shortly after the launch of the Cairo carrier rocket, the self-destruction was triggered.
Tokyo-based company Space One wanted to be the first private company to send a satellite into orbit from Japan's commercial spaceport Space Port Kii in Kushimoto in the western prefecture of Wakayama. In contrast, Japan's state space agency Jaxa recently successfully launched the new H3 carrier rocket after an initial failure. It is the successor to the reliable H2A rocket and Japan's first new development of its own large launch vehicle in around 30 years.
