Around 15:48 local time on November 4, the No. 4 machine of Japan's new H3 rocket was launched from the Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture. The rocket carried the military communication satellite "Kirameki 3" of Japan's Ministry of Defense.
The rocket was originally scheduled to be launched on October 20, but was postponed four times due to poor weather conditions and other reasons.
