Japanโs space agency JAXA said on the 23rd that the failed launch of the H3 rocket No. 8 was likely caused by an abnormality during satellite fairing separation. Officials noted that acceleration in the satellite section was higher than usual at the time of separation. JAXA is analyzing surrounding data to determine the exact cause.โน๏ธโน๏ธโน๏ธ
According to JAXA, pressure in the hydrogen fuel tank dropped sharply after the fairing separation. The second-stage engine, which was supposed to ignite twice, delivered lower-than-expected thrust during the first burn, which lasted longer than planned. The second burn was extremely short, and the engine shut down early. The status of the onboard satellite remains unclear, JAXA said.๐ซฃ๐ซฃ๐ซฃ
