Japanese private launch company, Interstellar Technologies attempted a trip to space but failed. The firm had first attempted in 2017 but the launch didn't go exactly as planned and failed to reach space in 2019, its MOMO-3 sounding rocket didn't make it to the space and unfortunately its MOMO-5 sounding rocket launched today did not make space as planned, instead apparently suffering some kind of malfunction and loss of control.
