Private Japan firm's rocket launch fails www.nhk.or.jp
The first rocket to be developed by a private Japanese firm has apparently failed to reach the target altitude.
Interstellar Technologies, based in the northernmost prefecture of Hokkaido, launched the 10 meter-long, ethanol-powered rocket around 4:30 PM on Sunday from a site in the town of Taiki.
The company stopped receiving data about the rocket's location and speed about 80 seconds after liftoff, and sent a signal to shut down the engine.
The rocket apparently failed to reach the target altitude of more than 100 kilometers. It is believed to have fallen in the Pacific Ocean 8 kilometers from the launch site.
Public-sector rocket development in Japan is led by JAXA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
