The first attempt by a Japanese private company to land a satellite into space orbit has failed again.

Japan's space venture company Space One launched Kyros 2 from the private rocket launch site Space Photo Kii in Kushimoto-cho, southern Wakayama Prefecture, western Honshu, at around 11 a.m. yesterday (18th).

The Kyros 2 seemed to be flying normally, but Space One explained that it decided it was difficult to achieve the mission after the launch and took measures to suspend the flight.

Since then, Kyros-2 has exploded in the air with a system that autonomously destroys the gas.

SpaceOne said in an afternoon news conference that it stopped flying three minutes and seven seconds after the launch, explaining that it was investigating the cause.Masakazu Toyoda, president of Space One,

, bowed his head, saying, "We are sorry to our customers for not being able to enter the satellite into orbit."

The Kyros 2 is a small solid fuel rocket that is 18 meters high and weighs 23 tons.

The Kyros No. 1, which the company previously launched in March this year, also exploded in the air after detecting an abnormality shortly after launch.
