Japan's private space company Space One launched its Kairos No. 3 rocket on March 5 from Space Port Kii in Wakayama Prefecture but aborted the flight minutes later. This marks the third setback for the firm aiming to be the first private Japanese entity to place satellites into orbit.
Japan's private space company Space One canceled the launch of its third Kairos small rocket on Sunday due to unfavorable weather conditions. This setback delays the company's effort to become the first Japanese private firm to place satellites into orbit using a domestically developed rocket. The attempt scheduled for Wednesday last week was also postponed for the same reason.

China's first state-owned reusable rocket, the Long March 12A, made its debut launch on Tuesday morning, but the first-stage recovery failed. This marks China's second failed attempt this month to return an orbital-class booster to Earth, a feat achieved only by the United States so far.
