Space One aims to launch its Kairos rocket today, seeking to become Japan's first successful private space company.

Space One, Japan's first private space company, is set to attempt its second rocket launch on December 14, following a failed first attempt in March that ended in an explosion. The Kairos rocket will carry five satellites, including one from Taiwan and others from Japanese students and businesses. Success would make Space One the first Japanese private firm to place a satellite in orbit, positioning it in the growing global market for satellite launches.
