The rocket aimed to become the first funded by the Japanese private initiative to reach space
A rocket valued at $ 2.7 million created by a Japanese tycoon exploded this Saturday moments after takeoff. The object was raised to a height of barely 20 meters
The rocket, nicknamed MOMO-2, was designed by Interstellar Technologies, a company created by Takafumi Horie, creator of the Internet company now disappeared Livedoor.
The failure represents a blow to the dreams of the entrepreneur, who had the illusion of launching in space the first Japanese rocket developed with private funds. It should be noted that the first rocket that he designed did not work either
The takeoff, which took place around 5:30 south of Hokkaido, was broadcast on television.
