Quick Glance: Failed Premiere of Japan's Space One Kairos Rocket
  • Space One's Kairos rocket, a solid-fuel rocket from Japan, ended in an explosion just seconds after its inaugural launch on Wednesday as the company aimed to be the first Japanese company to deploy a satellite into orbit.

  • Teaming up with the United States, Japan is striving to revitalize its domestic aerospace sector to counter the technological and military competition posed by countries like China and Russia.
