Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has signed a contract to launch multiple H3 rockets for French satellite operator Eutelsat Group starting in 2027. This marks a key achievement for Japan's H3 rocket project, which successfully flew for the first time in February. Eutelsat, the world's third-largest satellite operator, becomes H3's second foreign client after Inmarsat. MHI aims to lower launch costs and boost annual launches amid rising global demand for rocket services.
