Japan's space agency suspended a planned launch on Monday of an H-IIA rocket that was to carry a moon lander into space, according to operator Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI).
The launch was cancelled because of unsuitable wind conditions in the upper atmosphere, MHI’s launch services unit said in a post on social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, 24 minutes before the planned launch time.The H-IIA No. 47 rocket was to be launched from Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency 's Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan at 9:26 a.m. local time on Monday.
H-IIA, jointly developed by JAXA and MHI, has been Japan's flagship space launch vehicle, with a success rate of 98% since 2001. However, after JAXA's new medium-lift H3 rocket on its debut in March, the agency postponed the launch of H-IIA No. 47 for several months to investigate the cause.
