Tanegashima Space Center (AFP) – Japan’s flagship H3 rocket carrying six small satellites successfully lifts off following a failed launch in December due to engine failure. The satellites loaded onto Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)’s rocket include Tokyo University of Science’s “Umitsubame”, which observes the Earth and other targets with a high-performance camera, and Shizuoka University’s “Shiraito”, which is testing space debris capture technology.
