WATCH: Japan’s Space One solid-fueled Kairos rocket exploded shortly after its inaugural launch on Wednesday as the firm tried to become the first Japanese ... Show more   www.nbcnews.com/news/world/japans-space-one-kairos-rocket-explodes-inaugural-flight-rcna143108
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.

  • Details regarding the triggering factors of the rocket's self-destruction after the ignition of the first-stage engine and the timeline for the next Kairos launch were not disclosed by Space One, with a commitment only to conduct an investigation into the explosion.

  • Despite Japan's relatively minor role in the space race, the country's rocket developers are striving to construct more cost-effective vehicles to meet the increasing demand for satellite launches from both government entities and international customers.

  • 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.
