Japan delays its third Moon Mission Launch because of bad Weather

Japan delays Moon Mission: Due to bad weather, Japan’s space agency postponed the launch of its “Moon Sniper” lunar mission on Monday for a third time.

A research satellite created in collaboration with NASA and the European Space Agency was also being launched on the H2-A rocket from Tanegashima, an island in southern Japan.

After India successfully landed a probe on the Moon last week, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) did not announce a new launch date for the mission.

The mission has been canceled, according to MHI Launch Services, the rocket co-developer, on the social media network X. “because it was confirmed that the upper wind does not satisfy the constraints at launch”.

Only the United States, Russia, and China had previously been able to land a spacecraft on the moon, and none had reached the south pole.

India’s achievement occurred four years after a previous Indian mission ended abruptly in failure and only days after a Russian probe crashed in the same area.

Japan had already attempted to land a lunar probe called Omotenashi that was carried by NASA’s Artemis 1 last year, but the mission failed and contacts were lost.

Japan has also experienced issues with launch rockets, with the next-generation H3 model failing after takeoff in March and the typically dependable solid-fuel Epsilon failing in October of the previous year.
