继12月17日发射中止后，日本JAXA于2025年12月22日从种子岛宇宙中心发射了第八枚H3火箭，但二级发动机过早关机后暂停了直播。该火箭搭载内阁府的引路5号卫星，用于日本准天顶卫星系统（QZSS）。
日本JAXA的第八枚H3火箭于2025年12月22日上午从鹿儿岛县种子岛宇宙中心升空，此前于12月17日发射中止。搭载载荷为内阁府的引路5号卫星，用于增强日本QZSS以实现精确全球定位。
任务初期进展顺利，但二级发动机比计划提前停止燃烧。JAXA中断直播，正在评估异常情况，调查工作正在进行。
作为H2A的继任者，H3旨在降低成本并提高可靠性，但已遭遇多次挫折，包括本次事件。预计很快将有进一步更新，同时对该计划的可靠性仍存疑问。

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.
Tokyo-based space startup Space One canceled the launch of its Kairos No. 3 small rocket shortly before liftoff on March 4 from Spaceport Kii in Kushimoto, Wakayama Prefecture, after a safety system activated. The launch was scheduled for 11 a.m., but halted 30 seconds prior. The company plans a press conference that afternoon to explain the incident.

Tokyo-based startup Space One has postponed the launch of its Kairos small rocket's No. 3 unit until March, citing a detailed weather analysis. The rocket is set to carry five satellites, with the launch window running until March 25.
NASA has delayed the Artemis II mission to April 1 following a helium flow problem that rolled the rocket back from the pad, building on prior fixes for hydrogen leaks during fueling tests. This first crewed lunar orbit since 1972 faces ongoing maintenance before returning to the launch site.

Bavarian space company Isar Aerospace cancelled its latest test flight attempt of the Spectrum carrier rocket from Norway's Andøya spaceport on Thursday, suspecting a leak in a pressure container. This follows an abort on March 25 due to a safety issue. CEO Daniel Metzler promised another attempt soon.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman told lawmakers that SpaceX and Blue Origin expect their lunar landers to be ready for the Artemis III mission in late 2027. The mission will now test the landers in Earth orbit rather than attempting a lunar landing. This change aims to reduce risks and increase launch frequency.

China has completed a metal 3D printing test in orbit aboard its Qingzhou prototype spacecraft, the Chinese Academy of Sciences said Monday, marking progress in space-based manufacturing. Researchers remotely activated the system from the ground, with the payload meeting its objectives as planned. The technology is seen as key for future missions, enabling astronauts to produce and repair parts in space.
