The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency said on the afternoon of the 17th that the launch of the H3 rocket was urgently halted that morning due to abnormalities in the cooling water injection equipment. JAXA was originally scheduled to launch the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System's “Guiding Road 5” satellite using an H3 rocket at 11:11 on the 17th. The agency held a press conference in the afternoon of the same day at the Tanegashima Space Center in southern Kagoshima Prefecture and said that when the rocket was about to ignite, there was an error in the cooling water injection equipment, and the launch mission was stopped urgently. The rocket and satellite were not damaged, and the cause of the failure is being investigated.
