Japan’s Space One experienced a setback during its maiden flight when the small rocket it launched exploded shortly after take-off, as shown in a video released on Wednesday. The four-stage solid-fuel rocket, measuring 18 metres (59 feet), detonated mere seconds post lift-off, which was scheduled just after 11:01 am. The explosion resulted in a large cloud of smoke, a fire, and scattered rocket fragments near the launch pad, accompanied by firefighting water sprays. The cause of the explosion remains unknown, and there is no immediate information about any potential injuries.
