日本航空航天探索局第八枚H3火箭于2025年12月17日星期三在鹿儿岛县种子岛宇宙中心的发射被中止。该火箭搭载内阁府的Michibiki No.5定位卫星，用于日本版的全球定位系统。
日本航空航天探索局（JAXA）原计划于2025年12月17日从鹿儿岛县种子岛宇宙中心发射其第八枚H3火箭，但任务被中止。该火箭旨在搭载内阁府的Michibiki No.5定位卫星，这是日本准天顶卫星系统（QZSS）的重要组成部分，用于增强全球定位服务。
目前尚未公布中止的具体原因。H3火箭作为JAXA下一代主力火箭，在之前的发射中取得了成功，并致力于提高可靠性。种子岛宇宙中心是日本的主要发射场，已从那里发射了众多卫星和探测器。
此次延误可能推迟Michibiki No.5的部署，该卫星支持高精度定位，这对灾害响应和自动驾驶车辆等应用至关重要。JAXA预计将迅速解决问题并重新安排发射。

China's commercial space company CAS Space successfully debuted its Kinetica 2 carrier rocket on Monday, launching from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and placing the New March 02 experimental cargo spaceship and two satellites into preset orbits.

NASA has overhauled its Artemis program, postponing the first human moon landing until the Artemis IV mission in early 2028. The changes, announced by Administrator Jared Isaacman on February 27, 2026, aim to increase launch frequency and reduce risks after repeated delays with the Space Launch System rocket. An additional test flight, now Artemis III, will focus on low-Earth orbit rendezvous with commercial lunar landers.
