A small rocket from a Tokyo venture company whose launch had been postponed is scheduled to be launched from a rocket launch site in Wakayama Prefecture on the 13th. If the onboard satellite is successfully placed into orbit, it will be the first launch in Japan by a private company alone.
The launch plan is to put a small government satellite mounted on a rocket into orbit around the Earth at an altitude of 500 km. Demand for launching small satellites is increasing around the world, and the company plans to launch rockets 30 times a year in the 2030s.
