Japan's space agency on Monday postponed for the third time the launch of its"Moon Sniper" lunar mission due to poor weather.
MHI Launch Services, the rocket co-developer, said on the social media platform X that the mission was called off"because it was confirmed that the upper wind does not satisfy the constraints at launch". India's success came days after a Russian probe crashed in the same region, and four years after a previous Indian attempt failed at the last moment.
