Japan Successfully Tests Reusable Experimental Rocket

Tokiyo. Japan's space agency has successfully completed the first test flight of a reusable experimental rocket. Japan has been advancing the development of this technology with the aim of reducing space launch costs and becoming competitive in the global space market.

During the test conducted on Saturday at the Noshiro Testing Center in northeastern Japan, operated by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the 'RV-X' rocket made a flight of less than one minute. The rocket hovered in the air for a while, moved horizontally, and landed safely, JAXA stated.
