According to media reports, the Japanese satellite, equipped with intelligence technology, was launched with a rocket aimed at monitoring threats and natural disasters related to North Korea.
The H2A rocket was launched from the Tanegashima Space Center on Tanegashima Island. Rocket maker Mitsubishi Heavy Industries said in a statement that the rocket flew as planned. It was indeed a beautiful launch.
It should be noted that the launch comes after North Korea officially launched its spy satellite program last year. It claims to have launched a spy satellite into orbit in November and plans to launch more satellites during 2024.
On the other hand, China has also launched its spy satellite and South Korea sent its first satellite into space last month.
