Launch cancellation "Kototori" to reset the launch date in about one week September 11 20:43
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will launch the next launch date in about a week for the H2B rocket carrying the Japanese space transport ship "Kototori" No. 8, which was canceled due to a fire at the launch pad on the 11th. I showed the prospect that I could do it.
The H2B rocket carrying the Japanese space transport ship “Kounotori” No. 8 carrying goods to the International Space Station was scheduled to be launched from Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture on the 11th. The launch was canceled because it happened.
When Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which is launching, investigated the fire situation, it showed the prospect that it would be possible to set a schedule for relaunching in about one week for investigation and countermeasures for the cause of the next launch.
This launch is the first case in which the implementation of the new “Space Activity Law” has been enacted, and the implementing body has moved from JAXA = Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
