Soaring through the clear sky. In addition, the wide-angle camera did not activate the timer and could not take a single photo (T^T)

Thanks, Steven for the coverage.  I got the hang of the post from Twitter.  Now I know how Future Space Travel does his posting.

Japan's space launch is a lot of waiting, a short period of excitement, then waiting again for confirmation.  I need some Sake now.

A waving rocket road. In recent launches, there have been many cases where the forecast has been wrong and the weather has cleared up.

As a general rule, the launch is only observed using the Mark-I Eyeball...

H2A rocket No. 48 was successfully launched from Tanegashima Space Center. At Eminoe Observation Park, which is the closest to the launch site, applause broke out as the aircraft rose steadily, leaving a white wake in the blue sky. Will this serve as an impetus for another challenge with the new core rocket H3 scheduled for February? ? “Soon the universe will be ours” (Tanegashima Bureau)

Support your local planetarium! (COVID-panic and forward: Now more than ever.) My current avatar is saying "i wants to go uppies!" Yes, there are God-given rights. Do you wish to gainsay the Declaration of Independence?

The MBC stream was able to track the vehicle up to fairing separation, which could be seen briefly flashing as they fell away!

Maybe a cold glass of Sapporo beer would be good too.
