Japan successfully launches H3 missile

The new mission marks an important step forward for the Japanese space program after a previous technical incident.

The H3 missile, Japan's main missile line, was successfully launched carrying 6 small satellites on June 12.

The event took place after the H3 missile failed, unable to put a positioning satellite into orbit in December due to engine failure.

About 6 minutes after leaving the launch pad, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) said that the second floor burning process, operation control and flight trajectory were all normal.

According to JAXA, the 6 satellites launched into space in this mission include the "Umitsubame" satellite of Tokyo University of Science and the "Shiraito" satellite of Shizuoka University.

The "Umitsubame" satellite is designed to observe Earth and other targets with a high-performance camera system.

Meanwhile, the "Shiraito" satellite is being used to test space debris collection technology, one of the increasingly concerned issues in the exploitation and use of Earth orbit.

A notice from JAXA shows that the main technical parameters of the flight all operated as planned in the early stages of the mission.

This successful launch takes place in the context that the H3 rocket program is attracting attention after a previous unsuccessful launch, when a positioning satellite could not be put into orbit due to engine failure.

The new results are seen as a positive sign for Japan's efforts to deploy space missions with its main missile line.
