Japanese startup Space One fails to launch rocket for 2nd time
Japanese startup Space One Co. had a rocket fail during a launch for the second time, dealing a blow to the company's hopes of becoming the first private firm in the country to put a satellite into orbit.
2 rocket self-destructed three minutes after lifting off at 11:00 a.m. from Space Port Kii in Kushimoto, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan's only commercial spaceport. The company said a malfunction in the operation of the three-stage rocket's first-stage nozzle, about 80 seconds after liftoff, caused it to deviate from its intended orientation.
