HALP

The quality of their stream is quite contrasting to SpaceX's fancy stuff. I just hope it's not going to be shaking wildly as we watch the rocket go up.

>Nutted but he still counting

did something happen? it seems like it flamed out way early

Given that it's far too small to have any launch cameras on it, I'm guessing that's all we're going to see until someone tells us what happened?

>>8602441
I think it just left the troposphere when the smoke cut out or just temperature change in the atmosphere..

The first stage was only supposed to last a short while. It then uses that momentum to get high enough, then the second stage gives it the required horizontal velocity.

It's quite an odd ascent profile.

dang, they are eating a lot of drag losses with that profile.

Jesus. That must have been flying uncontrolled for a very long time.

why is japan so bad at space stuff?
aren't they one of the global leaders in technology

>>8603354

I've noticed this too. Japan seems to have a lot of mishaps with space endeavors...

>>8603354
first flight of a new launch system is expected to fail, desu. Especially when it is pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved.

Japan's first orbital attempt is the previous record holder for smallest orbital rocket, and it wasn't successful until the fifth flight.

Japan is on par with other agencies as far as flight reliability goes.

Dnno whats the point of a really small rocket/payload
