The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) successfully launched Monday the new mainstay H3 rocket No. 4 from Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture.
The rocket is carrying the Kirameki 3 X-band defense communication satellite of the defense ministry.
The launch was originally scheduled for mid-October but was postponed several times due to changes in the weather forecast among other reasons.
