Video: Japanese rocket MOMO-2 explodes seconds after launch
An unmanned rocket MOMO-2, developed by a Japanese entrepreneur, exploded shortly after lift-off on Saturday, in an attempt to send Japan's first privately backed rocket into space. The failure follows a previous setback in July 2017, when engineers lost contact with a rocket about a minute after launch. MOMO-2 was developed by Interstellar Technologies, founded in 2013 by Takafumi Horie.
