Japan has launched a rocket with an X-ray telescope that will explore the origins of the universe. The HII-A rocket's liftoff from Tanegashima Space Center in southwestern Japan was shown on live video by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
That information helps in studying how celestial objects were formed, and hopefully can lead to solving the mystery of how the universe was created, JAXA says.
Plasmas have the potential to be used in various ways, including healing wounds, making computer chips and cleaning the environment. JAXA is developing “pinpoint landing technology” to prepare for future lunar probes and landing on other planets. While landings now tend to be off by about 10 kilometers or more, the Smart Lander is designed to be more precise, within about 100 meters of the intended target, JAXA official Shinichiro Sakai told reporters ahead of the launch.The move comes at a time when the world is again turning to the challenge of going to the moon.
