    Japan successfully launched its new H3 flagship rocket a few hours ago, putting its space programme back on track after multiple setbacks including the failure of the rocket's inaugural flight last year.
    The H3 is due to replace the two-decade-old H-IIA, which is retiring after two more launches. Another failed flight would have seen Japan face the prospect of losing independent access to space.
