"Japan's Second Attempt: Launching the H3 Rocket for Space Exploration"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Nikkei Asia
Japan's manufacturing reputation is at stake as the test launch of the H3 Launch Vehicle, the country's next-generation space rocket, has been delayed due to bad weather. The rocket's production involves a five-story workshop in Aichi, known for its agricultural industry, where aluminum pipes for liquid oxygen and hydrogen are manufactured. The upcoming launch is a crucial second attempt following a failed launch last year that had a significant impact on Japan's manufacturing sector.
