Japan’s Space One rocket explodes five seconds into launch
Japan’s Space One Kairos rocket exploded shortly after launch on its inaugural trip with the firm trying to be the first Japanese company to put a satellite in orbit.
The setback for Space One and the rocket industry in Japan comes as the government and investors ramp up support for the sector amid a national security buildup and skyrocketing demand for commercial satellites.
