Private small rocket to be launched again today in Wakayama. 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, aiming to become a ''space courier'' that delivers satellites to space at low cost.
