The first of two planned satellites to be launched from Japan has failed. The second satellite will be launched in the second half of the year.
The first satellite was due to launch in March, but was delayed due to problems with the second satellite. The new satellite is scheduled to launch on March 31. The launch is expected to take place within the next few days. It will be the first of a series of satellites to launch from Japan. The other satellite is due to arrive in April. The two satellites will launch from different locations in Japan.
