About this page

This page reports that Japan's space agency JAXA canceled a flight test of its reusable rocket experimental vehicle "RV-X" in Noshiro, Akita Prefecture due to equipment malfunction. A device for disconnecting fuel injection piping from the aircraft failed before the scheduled test. The initial March 7 flight was postponed multiple times due to poor weather, and a previous attempt on March 25 was also canceled due to piping issues. Reusable rocket technology is crucial for reducing costs and increasing launch frequency. SpaceX has already commercialized this technology, and Japan aims to acquire it for its future main rocket development.
