At the start of the countdown, one of the solid side boosters unexpectedly fails.

Japan aborted the launch of its flagship medium-lift H3 rocket minutes before liftoff. It was reported on February 17 by Reuters.

It was noted that the 57-meter rocket should go into space on Friday at 03.37 Kyiv time from the territory of the Tanegashima space center. However, one of his solid side boosters unexpectedly failed, derailing the mission.

The H3 is supposed to carry the ALOS-3 satellite into orbit, equipped with an infrared sensor to detect North Korea’s ballistic missiles. Its resolution makes it possible to observe objects up to 0.8 m in size on the Earth’s surface and is useful for monitoring in case of disasters.

Japanese aerospace agency JAXA said the second launch attempt will take place before the end of March.

According to Reuters, Japan has big plans for H3. The rocket is designed to launch government and commercial satellites into orbit, as well as deliver cargo to the International Space Station. In addition, it must compete with SpaceX.

Recall that in January the first official launch of the RS1 launch vehicle by the Californian startup ABL Space Systems ended in failure.
