Japan's H3 Rocket Lifts Off Carrying Six Small Satellites

Japan's flagship H3 rocket lifted off carrying six small satellites, according to @AFP reported. The launch followed a failed attempt in December caused by engine failure. The H3 serves as Japan's primary launch vehicle for orbital missions.

The payload consisted of six small satellites placed into orbit during the flight. The successful liftoff marks the first flight of the H3 since the December setback. Engineers had addressed the engine issue that halted the prior attempt.
