Astroscale, a venture company in Tokyo, is aiming to establish technology to collect "space debris" Astroscale is collaborating with JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) to collect used rockets floating in outer space. The satellite was launched from New Zealand just after 11:50 pm on the 18th Japan time, and the launch was successful as it was inserted into the planned orbit about an hour later.
