CTOnews.com, August 28-India's Lunar ship 3 successfully landed on the moon, becoming the fourth country in the world to land on the moon after the Soviet Union, the United States and China, which makes Japan, which has long had plans to land on the moon, jealous.

Japan's H2A rocket to the moon (H2A rocket 47) announced a delay last week and was scheduled to relaunch at 09:26 (08:26 Beijing time) today, foreign media thejapantimes reported. However, officials announced that the launch time of the rocket was postponed again. Officials said the launch could not be carried out "due to strong winds".

▲ thejapantimes delays are common for Japanese rocket launches, a year after Japan's last successful rocket launch.

CTOnews.com learned after inquiry that the H2A rocket will carry the SLIM lunar probe, and the SLIM probe also hides the SORA-Q miniature lunar exploration robot jointly developed by JAXA and toy manufacturer TOMY, which looks like a ball and is equipped with a small camera that can transmit the captured images to Earth.

Japan plans to make a soft landing on the moon in January or February next year after successful rocket and probe tests. if it succeeds, Japan will become the fifth country after India to explore the lunar surface, but for now, the exact date of Japan's landing on the moon will still be postponed.
