Source: Associated Press<\/p>\n\n<p>The success of this mission would have positioned Space One as <strong>the first private Japanese firm to achieve the feat of putting a satellite into orbit<\/strong>. However, the road to launch was fraught with difficulties, facing up to five delays due to a variety of factors, including a shortage of essential components for liftoff.<\/p>\n\n<p>The moment of the explosion was captured live, detailing how the solid-fuel rocket was consumed in flames, leading the company to intentionally terminate the mission shortly thereafter.
