Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy successfully launches delayed moon rocket on Thursday
TL;DR Summary
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has rescheduled the launch of its H-IIA rocket carrying a moon lander for Thursday morning, after unfavorable wind conditions caused a postponement last month. The rocket is set to take off from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Tanegashima Space Centre in southern Japan. The H-IIA rocket has been Japan's flagship space launch vehicle, with a successful track record since 2001. Japan may provide a subsidy of about 10 billion yen ($68.4 million) to JAXA in fiscal 2024 to support aerospace development initiatives.
