According to space agency of Japan, a study of flight data from the failed H3 rocket launch revealed that a gadget had abnormal voltage levels around the time the second-stage engine was meant to start.
Japan’s new flagship H3 rocket, the successor to the country’s dependable H2A rocket, launched on Tuesday but was ordered to self-destruct minutes later when its second-stage engine failed to ignite.
According to Xinhua, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) confirmed that the rocket transmitted a signal to its second-stage engine to ignite and that the engine received the signal, but a component of the mechanism required for ignition exhibited abnormal voltage levels.
On the same day, the agency disclosed its preliminary findings to a government panel of experts, saying that it will thoroughly study the reason of the failure and take corrective action.
