Tokyo, we have a problem: Rocket explodes after take-off, turning launchpad into giant fireball as start-up attempts to be Japan's first private firm to put a satellite into orbit
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Tokyo-based Space One's 18-metre (60-foot) Kairos rocket blasted off in the coastal Wakayama region of western Japan, carrying a small government test satellite.
But around five seconds later, the solid-fuel rocket erupted in fire, sending white smoke billowing around the remote mountainous area as orange flames raged on the ground, live footage showed.
Space One said it had taken the decision to 'abort the flight' and details were being investigated.
'We want to accept this outcome in a forward-looking manner and embark on our next challenge,' company president Masakazu Toyoda told reporters, asserting that Space One does not use the term 'failure'.
