Japan space company postpones 2nd attempt at orbit due to wind

The Japanese startup Space One postponed its second attempt to launch a satellite into orbit due to strong winds at the launch site in Wakayama Prefecture, western Japan. The launch, which was scheduled for the Kairos rocket, was called off just 20 minutes before the planned lift-off time. This delay follows a previous unsuccessful attempt in March when the rocket exploded shortly after launch.

The next potential launch date has not been announced.
