Kaboom!
The inaugural launch of Space One’s Kairos rocket didn’t go so well on March 12. The light-lift launch vehicle, carrying an experimental satellite for the Japanese government, self-destructed a mere five seconds after lifting off from Space One Launch Pad at Space Port Kii. Space One failed in its attempt to be the first Japanese company to successfully launch a satellite into orbit, but the Tokyo-based company will surely learn from the failure and launch again soon.
