Japan's Space One terminated the flight of its Kairos small rocket shortly after liftoff on Wednesday, marking the end of its second attempt in nine months to become the country's first company to deliver a satellite to space.

Space One Co., a Japanese startup backed by Canon Inc., failed a second time to launch its rocket in yet another setback for the country’s commercial space industry.

For the second day in a row, SpaceX plans to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from our Space Coast. The launch will be in conjunction with SES, a satellite communication service provider.
