TOKYO (Bernama-Kyodo): An engine being developed for use in the Epsilon S small rocket went up in flames Tuesday during a combustion test at a facility in southwestern Japan, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency said.
The fire at the Tanegashima Space Centre in Kagoshima Prefecture follows another incident in July 2023 when the same engine exploded during a test at the Noshiro Testing Centre in northeastern Japan, Kyodo News reported.
