A company aiming to become Japan’s first private firm to put a satellite in orbit will attempt a rocket launch on Saturday after its first try ended in a mid-air explosion.
Tokyo-based Space One’s Kairos rocket will make its second blastoff from the company’s launch pad in the rural western region of Wakayama.
If successful, it would represent a coup for the company’s bid to establish a satellite-launching service amid a rapidly expanding global market for such ventures.
Private firms are offering cheaper and more frequent space exploration opportunities than governments, and Space One hopes to emulate Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which has contracts with NASA and the Pentagon.
