Japanese aerospace startup Interstellar Technology successfully launched a small rocket into space on Saturday marking the first commercially developed Japanese rocket to reach orbit. The unmanned rocket named MOMO-3 took off from Taiki on the northern Japanese island of Hokkiado and flew about 10 minutes. The successful flight came after two failed launches by the same company in 2017 and 2018.
