After Chandrayaan-3’s success, Japan’s space agency set to send rocket to Moon

Japan's space agency JAXA plans to send the H2-A rocket to the moon on Sunday morning, following the recent success of Chandrayaan-3 and the failure of Russia's Luna-25. According to a Bloomberg report, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's H2-A rocket is the agency's most reliable rocket, with only one failure in 42 launches since 2001. JAXA's costly failures: JAXA's problems began in October 2022, when it had to abandon its plans for the sixth launch of the Epsilon rocket mid-flight. It was the first major failure for a Japanese rocket since 2003, and a subsequent investigation by JAXA blamed the failure on a faulty part that prevented the rocket from staying upright.
