A Japanese space company called Space One tried to launch a rocket on Wednesday. The rocket was supposed to carry satellites into space. However, the launch did not go as planned.
The rocket took off from a special site in Japan. But after a few minutes, the company had to stop the flight. They knew the rocket would not complete its mission. The rocket then destroyed itself in the air.
This was Space One's second attempt to launch a rocket. Their first try in March also failed. The company hopes to learn from these mistakes and succeed next time.
