H3 Rocket Failure Causes Delays for Japanese Space Missions.

The launch of Japan's X-ray telescope and robotic lunar lander has been delayed to no earlier than August, and the launch schedule for another Japanese mission to return samples from a moon of Mars is in doubt as engineers investigate the failure of Japan's first H3 rocket last month. The XRISM mission is a replacement for Japan's Hitomi X-ray astronomy satellite, which failed a month after its launch in February 2016.
