Japanese Startup Space One Fails Kairos-2 Rocket Launch Again

Japan's Space One faced its second failure with the Kairos-2 rocket after a course-control malfunction in the engine forced technicians to self-destruct the rocket three minutes post-launch. The mission, carrying five satellites, including one from Taiwan, highlights the challenges in Japan's bid to achieve 30 rocket launches annually and build a $52 billion space industry by the 2030s.
