The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency is scheduled to launch an H3 rocket on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The rocket is expected to take off at 9:53:59 a.m. local time from Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture, southwestern Japan. It will be carrying metal structures instead of a satellite.<\/p>\n
JAXA says it has corrected the payload support structure which caused its launch in December to fail.<\/p>\n
The sixth H3 rocket is a new “Type 30” test vehicle that does not use boosters but has three liquid-fuel main engines in the first stage, one more than in previous models.<\/p>\n
After examining weather and other conditions for the launch, JAXA plans to start final preparations on Tuesday night if there is no problem.<\/p>\n
The space agency has had a series of launch and combustion test failures in its mainstay rocket program since 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency is scheduled to launch an H3 rocket on Wednesday.
